Unblended biodiesel is referred to as B100 because it is 100%
biodiesel.
Rapeseed methyl ester (RME) is the most common type of FAME
used in Europe. Soy methyl ester (SME) and sunflower oil methyl
ester (SOME) are the most common types of FAME used in the
US.
Although use of FAME biodiesel is now a legal requirement in
some markets, it is not as suitable for use in diesel engines as
conventional diesel fuel or HVO (hydro-treated vegetable oil).
