It said last week’s Coalition proposal for a $6 million trial of a B20 biodiesel blend was unnecessary and would only serve to further delay the uptake of biodiesel.
ABG also said the ALP has made no meaningful commitments to biofuels.
The Australian Labour Party last week promised $15 million to help companies set up next-generation ethanol pilot plants.
Meanwhile, the Coalition has extended the Ethanol Distribution Scheme, which provides provides up to $10,000 for operators to upgrade their equipment and support the sale of ethanol-blended fuel.
Further cash grants are available to service stations that reach ethanol sales targets.
