Synthetic gasoline? Syndiesel from coal? Oil-based fuels from algae, grasses or waste grease? Single alcohols like ethanol? What about higher mixed alcohol fuels?
Road Transportation Emerges as Key Driver of Warming
In a paper published online on Feb. 3 by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers described how they used a climate model to estimate the impact of 13 sectors of the economy from 2000 to 2100. They based their calculations on real-world inventories of emissions collected by scientists around the world, and they assumed that those emissions would stay relatively constant in the future.
In their analysis, motor vehicles emerged as the greatest contributor to atmospheric warming now and in the near term. Cars, buses, and trucks release pollutants and greenhouse gases that promote warming, while emitting few aerosols that counteract it.
Bioroot Energy clean fuel facilities will produce ENVIROLENE® 138 octane higher mixed alcohol fuel.
EPA-registered, water-soluble, biodegradable ENVIROLENE® blends seamlessly into gasoline and diesel fuels for more mileage, more power, and lower emissions.
