    turns out those LeMan’s R10 are running on a synthetic diesel (liquefaction product of biomass or coal, probably coal in this case). it has more power than petrodiesel and less particulate matter than biodiesel.

    I read it was biomass to liquid (BTL) derived from plant material, not coal. Not traditional RME biodiesel in any case.
