Biofuels in Poland

•In Poland are produced: ethanol, methyl esters and biogas.

•Ethanol sold as component of petrol (about 5%)•Ethanol sold as component of petrol (about 5%)

•Methyl esters (REM) sold as components of diesel at many filling

stations or pure on several filling stations.

•Biogas in Poland isn’t fuel for machines and we can't buy it at

filling stations. Biogas is used in production of electricity

•Raps Oil (PPO) isn’t produced as pure fuel but it is only substrate

for RME production.

Characteristic of IBMER’s farm

Institute for Building, Mechanization and Electrification of

Agriculture has got an experimental farm. The farm is situated in Poznań,

about 5 km from town centre, on the outskirts. about 5 km from town centre, on the outskirts.

It has 356,8 hectares area. 95% (338 ha) of it is the arable land, the rest

(100 cows) is kept on it.

On the fields are cultivated: wheat, rye, oats onto grain (60%), growing

corn, lucerne, clover onto silage (30%) and mustard, rape, onto

adventitious plants.

The farm has got mechanical service with highly-qualified workers. There The farm has got mechanical service with highly-qualified workers. There

are making different repairs. Tractors on the farm making about 1000

hours/year.

The Institute has 4 big tractors which have above 100 kW and 5

tractors has under 100 kW. One of them working on PPO and one working

on CNG. We have also filing station on PPO and CNG.

It is not necessary to use the preheating equipment

if the motor is still warm from prior use.

• At temperatures below plus 18°C:

use fuel preheating equipment (see operator’s manual).

• At temperatures below minus 2°C:

in addition, preheat the engine with the coolant heater (see in addition, preheat the engine with the coolant heater (see operator’s manual).
