The table below shows our illustrative prices (before discounts) of the various blends ranging from plain diesel (B0) to pure Eco-BiodieselTM (B100). In the case of B10 Eco-BiodieselTM, the delivered price ex: Gauteng during Febuary’19 is R13.07/Lit, which represents a saving of 12c/lit on the regular price of diesel 50ppm.
* Based on Gauteng Feb’19 WLP for 50ppm diesel = c1319/Lit, assuming 0 c/lit
differential on WLP (negotiable); and B100 base cost = R12.00/Lit
Bulk orders
For any Order volume, the cost of mineral diesel stock is reduced proportionally with the ratio of biodiesel blended in. Meanwhile, the blending ratio in the biodiesel guarantees a proportionate gain in the fuel efficiency of the fleet, due to the contributed by the biofuel.
In the case of 20,000 litres of blended B10 Eco-BiodieselTM, the cost of this fuel during February’19 amounts to R263,764, which represents a saving of R2,000 from the equivalent cost of plain diesel.
