Pilipinas Shell complies with 2% Biodiesel Blend Mandate

11/11/2009

Shell, the world’s largest distributor of transport biofuels, supports Republic Act No. 9367 or the Biofuels Act of 2006 through its compliance with the 2% biodiesel mandate in its diesel engine fuels.

Under this law, all oil companies in the Philippines were mandated by the government to blend 1% biodiesel by volume into all diesel fuels sold in the country beginning May 2007. The National Biofuels Board (NBB), which was created in support of the implementation of the Biofuels Act, determined the feasibility of increasing the minimum percentage to 2% biodiesel blend by volume within two years of effectivity of the Act. As a result, oil companies were mandated to sell 2% biodiesel blend in all diesel fuels effective February 2009.


With over 30 years of experience, knowledge, and technical innovation in the biofuels category, Shell is the leading retailer of biofuels globally. As the leading innovator for the new energy future, Shell continuously discovers new ways to serve its customers better and build sustainable solutions to preserve the environment for this generation and beyond.


Shell Diesoline Ultra blended with 2% Coconut Methyl Ester is now available for motorists at all Shell retail stations nationwide.
