The huge obstacles to the introduction of electric, hydrogen and other modern-powered engines remain the enormous amount of work (and money) involved in setting up new refueling structures and the huge legacy of the old internal combustion heritage – millions of cars that it can simply trash.
Therefore, any news that shows the search for economically ecological compromises is interesting.
Neste, the world’s leading producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), could be the first company to develop renewable gasoline for commercial use in existing cars.
The final testing phase is now underway with a view to completing the fuel tests, thus ensuring a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from petrol and hybrid cars.
With Neste renewable gasoline, life cycle greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by as much as 65% compared to fossil fuels.
Nest’s goal is to improve this figure by gradually achieving a 90% reduction in emissions through fuel use. This would mean that life cycle greenhouse gas emissions would be equivalent to those of electric cars.
The product complies with the EN228 standard and can be used in both existing and new cars equipped with petrol and hybrid engines.
Renewable petrol is thus able to provide another tool in the EU to meet the ambitious target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.
The new fuel is being tested with Volvo Cars supplier Powertrain Engineering Sweden AB.
We are following the development of renewable fuels, including Neste’s renewable petrol, with great interest and believe that it has great potential. The combination of our products with Neste’s renewable petrol will allow car owners to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 65%, ”says Michael Fleiss, CEO of Powertrain Engineering Sweden.
Testing is performed both in the laboratory with a free-standing engine and in “Neste”, performing test drives with two cars.
