Biofuel Testing Services
In response to the growth of the biofuels market, Saybolt offers testing services to all aspects of the biofuel supply chain. This includes testing of raw biomass products, process optimization and testing, as well as emissions trading certification including specialist products for the aviation and marine transport sectors.
We provide value to our customers through our comprehensive testing capabilities and our investigative approach. Our services include a wide range of biofuels quality controls where we adhere to international standards such as ASTM, IP, API, EN, and ISO.
To support the move towards sustainable fuels, European Union (EU) countries have signed up to the Renewable Fuels Directive, which set targets for the introduction of all types of replacement energy sources including biofuels to reduce dependence on petroleum products.
