The Polish government is pushing for increased biodiesel in an effort to make up for Russia's import ban of agricultural goods.
Poland wants to increase their biodiesel blend from 7% in 2014 to 10% blend by 2020. The main priority is to produce biodiesel from rapeseed and ethanol from corn. The biggest advantage of rapeseed as raw material is its high crop yield. However, biodiesel and bioethanol production requires government grants to stay commercially viable.
Having more than 70 percent of rapeseed harvest in Poland used as raw material will help stabilize prices and overcome Russia's import ban on agricultural products.
