The largest user of biodiesel in the world is France. They add up to 5% of biodiesel to all low sulphur diesel sold in that country. A total of seven companies in the US have released premium additive packages containing biodiesel, in which biodiesel is a major marketing aspect of the products. In the summer of 1999, Koch – the second largest privately owned company in the US behind Cargill – launched a new premium diesel fuel product, US SoyField Diesel, which is now in over 20 terminals in the midwest and expanding. Also in 1999, Country Energy (the Farmland/Cenex petroleum joint venture) launched SoyMaster, their proprietary premium diesel containing biodiesel in four terminals in the Midwest.
