On December 21 ABG put out a press release about the mothballing of the Berkley Vale plant.

Note that the press release indicates that some 69% of their sales is used in B20 applications.
Now consider that the Government is likely to dictate a maximum of 5% biodiesel in petrol diesel after the new review.
Standardising Diesel/Biodiesel Blends - Discussion paper
This will likely kill off the ABG and other small commercial producers. Big oil wins again. They set the biodiesel standards, they dictate the legislation regarding grants and subsidies (and recieved the biggest grants for putting in new biodiesel plants) - alternative energy in this country is a joke.
