dīzeļdegviela ar zemu nodokļa likmi/biodīzeļdegviela
Explanation:
Varbūt būtu vienkāršāk saukt "sarkanā dīzeļdegviela", jo tai pievieno sarkanu krāsvielu tās sliktākās kvalitātes dēļ, lai brīdinātu par tās ekoloģisko kaitīgumu utt., taču neatradu īpaši pārliecinošas atsauces lapās latv. valodā. Šeit "red diesel" tiek dēvēts arī par rebated fuel (http://www.ipaf.org/news_19.htm), ko varētu aprakstoši dēvēt par degvielu vai dīzeļdegvielu ar zemu/pazeminātu nodokļa likmi.

Runājot par green diesel, manuprāt, tā pati biodīzeļdegviela vien ir.










"Green fuel", manuprāt, tā pati biodīzeļdegviela vien ir.

Example sentence(s):
  • For example, in United Kingdom the "red diesel", gas oil for heating, is significantly cheaper than heavier-taxed diesel fuel, but it is a different fraction, containing more sulfur. Using it in diesel engines is therefore damaging both to the environment
  • According to a report from Daily Star (Beirut), the Lebanese Confederation of Public Drivers union favors use of environmentally friendly "green" diesel by all vehicles.
