B+ is an initiative started by the European biofuels sector to drive the uptake of high blends (>10%) of biodiesel (FAME and HVO) in Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDV) in Europe.
In order to decarbonise all modes of transport, there is an urgent need for an ambitious, technology-neutral approach, that includes the use of high-blends of biodiesel. Thanks to biodiesel, every car, van, truck, plane and ship can immediately contribute to the European decarbonisation objectives. In particular, for HDVs – a hard to abate sector – there is an opportunity to increase the rate at which biodiesel is replacing fossil diesel, using higher blends.
Our main objective is to increase demand for high blends use in HDVs through national and regional incentives by mid-2027. We are working in several ways to achieve this and our efforts are mainly focusing on:
Gaining recognition by the EU of the benefits of high blend use in HDVs
Gaining recognition by the EU of the benefits of high blend use in HDVs
Gaining recognition by the EU of the benefits of high blend use in HDVs
Gaining recognition by the EU of the benefits of high blend use in HDVs
Our efforts to promote B+ higher blends began in 2023 by promoting the 1st European B+ Summit for the decarbonisation of the HDV sector. The event was in Portugal and gathered key stakeholders across the biofuels supply chain, the automotive industry, fuel suppliers, logistics companies and distributors as well as national and European policymakers.
The 2nd edition of the European B+ Summit will be hosted in Vienna, Austria on 1-2 October 2025 and is expected to be even larger!
