Jan, US does not have a requirement for cars to be certified for biofuels, Europe had this since 1996, which means that all gasoline are certified for ethanol (I do not know if it is E100 or E85) and diesels for B100, after 1996. If the American diesel is not available in Europe, it is not certified for the biofuel and maybe not suitable without modifications. Normal diesel automobiles are in US only 3% of total automobiles, for Europe this number is larger than 40%. Trucks, buses etc, are not included and have a much larger number of diesels, but not as high as Europe. So the real market for BD in US, is the market for commercial vehicles. This is my understanding of the information that I have received.
