Biofuels > Fuel/Sustainability > Fuel tracebility
Fuel traceability is crucial for consumers to be able to differentiate between different types of fuels, as well as different fuel producers. This is likely to be especially important for the promotion of sustainable biofuels production, so that distributors and consumers can identify and select sustainably produced fuels.
Methods
- Biofuel Tracing with Tracero Taggants
- "The TRACERCO™ F-Tag series developed for biodiesel and bioethanol are fully bespoke, organic molecules that fully mimic the behaviour of the fluid which is tagged, allowing its presence to be determined in petroleum based fuels (gasoline or diesel) down to a level of below +/-2%."[1]

Clark, Growth Energy call for labeling fuel by country of origin, 2 September 2009 by BiofuelsDigest: "General Wesley Clark, Co-Chairman of Growth Energy, today called on the United States Congress and the White House to take action to dramatically enhance the market transparency of the nation’s fuel supply by requiring a national standard of country of origin labeling for fuel."
- "The Label My Fuel initiative - including a labelmyfuel.com website - would create a COOL standard, according to Growth Energy similar to requirements already in place for common consumer items, including apples, beef, cars and coffee."
- Tom Buis, Growth Energy CEO, was quoted as saying, "'Country of origin labeling for fuel will let consumers know if they are pumping a domestic-made fuel, like ethanol, or fuel from a foreign source."[2]
