Excerpt
Not only the car sector, but also the truck sector targets massive CO
2 emission reductions. Due to the high demands on range and refueling or charging times of these applications, renewable chemical energy carriers - bio- and e-fuels - are of particular importance. For this reason, FEV Europe is investigating the medium-chain alcohol 1-octanol among others as a possible energy source for commercial vehicle applications within the joint project Closed Carbon Cycle Mobility - Climate-neutral Fuels for the Traffic of the Future. …
