South Africa (followup)

I recently asked if anyone had info about biodiesel in South Africa. Simon Wilson (simon.wilson [at] adelphi-env.com) replied with the following via email:

There's a good deal of interest in biodiesel in SA at the moment, but very few actual users it seems.

Here are a few useful URLS:

• http://www.biodieselsa.co.za/Biodieselsa%20home.htm
• http://www.parallaxonline.net/biofuel.html
• http://www.dme.gov.za/home.asp?menu=main: they have a draft strategy on renewable energy which mentions biodiesel.
• http://www.edg.co.za/
• http://www.reeep.org/
• http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/eng/features/sasol/?show=50327

The City of Cape Town has published a state of the environment report that includes a section on renewable energy in the transport sector.

My interest is in seeing how to get hold of biodiesel here, and if its not available, why on earth is it not?!
