81 • The maximum density for diesel blended with more than 1% and not more than 7% volume fatty acid methyl esters is increased to 854 kg/m3” • Maximum sulphur level in ethanol reduced to 10 mg/kg by 1 July 2018 Objeto y razón de ser: The objectives of the review were to: • Improve environmental and public health outcomes by reducing harmful vehicle emissions and improving air quality; • Enable new cleaner vehicle technologies; • Provide an adequate level of consumer protection by ensuring that fuel that is “fit for purpose” can be supplied to consumers; and • Provide as much flexibility as possible to fuel suppliers within minimum environmental, public health and consumer protection constraints (i.e. an “open specification”). This flexibility will help achieve one or several of the following outcomes: • Enhanced security of supply as fuel can be sourced from a wider range of refineries; • Minimisation of costs to consumers as the premium paid by fuel suppliers relative to the international benchmark is likely to be lower if there is a wider potential supply pool; and • Promote the Government’s objectives around biofuels uptake where this is technically and commercially viable. Increased sales of biofuels can help contribute to the Government’s broader greenhouse gas emission abatement goals.
