Alternative Fuels What are the alternatives to fossil Gasoline and Diesel from crude oil? Energy Source Energy Pathway Energy Carrier Energy Conversion Transportation
Synthetic/renewable gasoline Process to develop synthetic/renewable gasoline from wood industry or other biomass An advanced fuel is a sustainable fuel with good well-to wheel CO2 and good quality (fit-for-purpose) Possible synergies with Sweden (FFF2030, wood industry), Preem in Sweden has knowledge in producing gasoline from lignin (pilot scale) Research of interest: Define fuel specification to improve performance Driveability Emissions CO2 and energy (WTT; TTW) Involve Universities, oil companies, biofuel companies VCC contribution: Car Engine Technical support
Biodiesel (FAME) Research of interest: Effect of different FAMEs (animal fat, waste cooking oil, soya, jatropha compared to RME) on robustness, durability and materials Fuel dilution in oil for different driving patterns (city driving, taxi cycle etc) Production steps and feedstock impact on final product and quality Several ongoing projects in EU Clogging Deposits VCC contribution: Car Engine Technical support + Photos: wikipedia
methanol Research of interest: Driveability Performance Emissions (EATS, EVAP) CO2 and energy (WTT; TTW) Durability effect on oil quality Additive packages Material compatibility Methanol processes and variation in quality VCC contribution: Car Engine Technical support
Ethanol Research of interest: Optimum EXX for performance and fuel consumption Define processes that minimize contaminants Well to wheel analysis of CO2 and energy for sustainable products Sugar cane VCC contribution: Car Engine Technical support Photo: wikimedia
