Excerpt

The article focuses on the development of G40, a regenerative gasoline fuel with a 40% renewable content, as part of the 'reFuels - Rethinking Fuels' project. The bioliq process, a multi-stage conversion of biomass into hydrocarbons, is highlighted, with the production of G40 involving a blend of 30% BtL fuel and 10% ethanol. Comprehensive engine tests, including cold start behavior and emissions analysis, demonstrate that G40 performs similarly to standard E5 fuel, with slight advantages in particle emissions. The article also discusses the challenges and future potential of producing a 100% regenerative fuel that complies with EN228 standards.
