1860’s - the father of the internal combustion engine, Nikolaus Otto, developed an ethanol fuelled engine

Diesel engine first ran on peanut oil

“RTFO obliges suppliers in the UK of fossil fuel for road transport to produce evidence showing that a specified proportion of fuel supplied is renewable fuel.” The target is 5% by 2013 “RTFO obliges suppliers in the UK of fossil fuel for road transport to produce evidence showing that a specified proportion of fuel supplied is renewable fuel.” The target is 5% by 2013 Biofuel The EU has directed that biofuels should account for 10% of total fuel sales by 2020
