    Macron asks Brussels to ease fuel specs and allow B10 diesel as France faces fuel crisis

    In a letter dated September 18 to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron asked Brussels to temporarily ease EU fuel quality specifications (density, desulfurization) and to permit diesel with 10% biodiesel (B10) instead of the current B7 standard, as emergency measures amid a diesel crisis in France. Diesel prices in France climbed to about 2.39 euros per liter, and between 14% and 16% of the country's filling stations reported shortages of at least one fuel type in mid-to-late September 2026. French refiners estimate the changes could lift domestic fuel production by 5% to 20%. According to dpa, Macron proposed that, after consultation with automakers, a time limit be set for the relaxed rules.

    UFOP reports Germany’s first-half HVO imports rising while biodiesel sales stay near prior-year levels

    Citing BAFA data, UFOP reports that imported HVO rose from 68,500 tonnes to 337,100 tonnes in the first half of 2026, while biodiesel sales were 1.062 million tonnes versus 1.085 million tonnes a year earlier. The association argues that the DIN EN 590 maximum 7% blending limit constrains biodiesel use and advocates 30% biodiesel blends in closed heavy-duty fleets and 100% biodiesel. Those proposals are advocacy, not newly granted approvals for all vehicles.

    Why it matters:Provides German market data that distinguishes HVO imports from biodiesel sales.
