Project objectives

4

 Development of (Certified) Reference Materials: homogeneus and stable biofuel test materials (sugar cane bioethanol – E100 and rape seed FAME – B100) with well characterized reference values  Information on current quality of measurement results by carrying out interlaboratory comparisons with these

  • materials. The ILCs are organized for field

laboratories specialized in the analysis of biofuels

 Lack of (Certified) Reference Materials for biofuels  Outcome of Tripartite Task Force (BR, EU, USA)

Proposal for compatible international documentary standards, “White Paper on International compatible Biofuel Standards”, December 2007  Classification of biofuels specifications (A,B and C)

 Come into force of EU RED (2009/28/EC) and EU FQD (2009/30/EC)

Follow up of BIOREMA

 Parallel worldwide “ Pilot Comparison” on determination of ethanol and water content in bioethanol fuel (May - Sep 2010)

 Use of BIOREMA Bioethanol material  Comparison of NMIs measurement capabilities  Participants: Germany, France, The Netherlands, Turkey, Singapore, Thailand, China, Japan, United States, Brazil, Argentina, Kenya and South Africa

 Begin (June 2010) of a 3 years research project “Metrology for liquid biofuels” under the European Metrology Research Program (EURAMET)

Conclusions

 Positive example of collaboration among metrology institutes and useful exercise for establishing a common approach to the production of biofuels materials  Production of biofuels (Certified) Reference Materials has been demonstrated. However, for several specifications, the assignment of an SI traceable value still need further research due to the complexity of the material.  Conclusions on the quality of the measurement results

  • btained by biofuel testing laboratories in the

interlaboratory comparison (ILC) will be drawn (together) at the end of this workshop
