  s     Assumptions    
  1) Figures for annual consumption of diesel and production of biodiesel based on 2005  
  2) CO2 savings estimate assumes that all CO2 produced by the use of fuel is consumed by the crops  
  3) CO2 savings estimate considers that methanol is produced from renewable sources  
      4) CO2 savings estimate does not consider the amount of CO2 emitted during biodiesel production.This means that it is considered that the emissions for production biodiesel and diesel are the same (which is conservative)  
  5) It is considered the productivity of the crops in tropical countries, i.e. high productivities  
  6) Glycerine produced indicates the amount of pure glycerine produced in stoichiometric conditions
