BIODEG er eit akronym for “Influence of bio-components content in fuel on emission of diesel engines and engine oil deterioration”. Prosjektet skal bidra med kunnskap om konsekvensar ved bruk av biodiesel i kombinasjon med fossil diesel på to område;

1. utslepp og
2. effekt på motorolje.

Vestlandsforsking har ansvar for det første området – utslepp - gjennom  livsløpsvuring av drivstoff sine utslepp av klimagassar og stoff med helseeffekt. Vurderingene skal utførast for biodiesel produsert frå biologiske olje frå tre ulike kjelde; 1) rapsfrø, 2) solsikkefrø og 3) fisk.

Prosjektet skal gå over 33 månader og er finansiert frå EØS-finansieringsordningen (EEA Grants). Samarbeidspartnarar er koordinatoren Oil and Gas Institute of Krakow (IniG) i Polen og Abgasprüfstelle Fachhochschule Biel (AFHB) i Sveits.
