Increasing fuel efficiency goes through modernizing the vehicle engines’ architecture and performance, and improving the quality of the fuel that powers them.
Because petrol blended with fuel ethers is burned more completely within the combustion chamber in high compression engines, less unburned fuel is emitted through the exhaust.
Higher fuel consumption efficiency means lower CO2 emissions. Fuel ethers contribute significantly to fuel consumption efficiency as they not only improve the fuel’s combustion but also reduce the need for more energy intensive fuel components, reducing the overall CO2 emissions of the fuel product.
Compared to non-oxygenated petrol, fuel ethers deliver up to 19% CO2 emissions reduction well-to-wheel.
To lower VOC emissions and prevent air pollution
Fuel ethers have been playing an important role in improving air quality. Alongside the improvements in car technology, the use of fuel ethers as petrol components have, both directly and indirectly, contribute to cleaner air in Europe.
To extend the lifetime of petrol and hybrid engines
Under ideal conditions a common internal combustion engine burns the fuel/air mixture in the cylinder in an orderly and controlled fashion, as part of a “four-stroke cycle”.
