In Germany, the government has allowed the unrestricted sales of paraffinic diesel fuels according to the DIN EN 15940 fuel standard in Germany. The sales of unblended, 100% renewable diesel (also known as “HVO100”) has previously only been allowed in specific segments, such as in non-road vehicles and public transportation. The approval that has now come into force allows for 100% renewable diesel to be sold and used in all segments in Germany. With this approval, Germany is following other EU countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland and Sweden in which the sale of 100% renewable diesel at public fueling stations has long been permitted.
