An eco-friendly alternative to traditional fuels<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Description” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#474747″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Current Superethanol-E85 is a fuel made from bioethanol and gasoline. By regulation, it contains between 60% and 85% bioethanol, with the remainder being fossil gasoline. <\/p>\n

With the development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), it is now possible to produce a100% renewable Superethanol-E85<\/strong>, by replacing the fossil gasoline portion with renewable gasoline, which is a co-product of SAF production.<\/p>\n

This 100% renewable fuel<\/strong> will offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fuels, helping reduce CO\u2082 emissions and air pollutants.<\/p>\n

1) Study on the CO\u2082 balance in a life-cycle analysis<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This study showed that for a C-segment vehicle, an E85 PHEV driving 60% of its kilometers in thermal mode is just as good for the climate as an electric vehicle with a 60 kWh battery using the French electricity mix. At the European level, the E85 PHEV is even better for the climate due to the higher carbon intensity of the European electricity mix. These findings hold true with both 2022 parameters and those projected for 2040, taking into account the expected progress.<\/p>\n

This 100% renewable Superethanol-E85 fuel already exists in California, where it accounted for one-third of all Superethanol-E85 volumes sold in 2022.<\/p>\n

Thus, 100% renewable Superethanol-E85 positions itself as a viable solution for decarbonizing the transport sector both today and after 2035, offering environmental performance comparable to that of fully electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

2) Study on pollutant emissions<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This study, conducted by the French Institute of Petroleum and New Energies (IFPEN), evaluated the environmental and technical performance of three types of 100% renewable Superethanol-E85. These fuels were tested in a commercial flex-E85 vehicle by replacing the fossil gasoline portion with three different renewable gasolines, two of which are derived from SAF production (bionaphtha and e-naphtha). <\/p>\n

The study results indicate that these 100% renewable blends meet the requirements of the upcoming Euro 7 standard, scheduled for late 2026.<\/p>\n

CO\u2082 regulation for vehicles by 2035<\/h2>\n

In 2023, the European Union adopted a regulation aiming to ban the sale of new cars emitting CO\u2082 at the tailpipe starting in 2035. However, this regulation leaves the door open for CO\u2082-neutral fuels \u2014 that is, fuels that do not emit fossil CO\u2082 \u2014 whose definition is still under discussion at the European level. This definition could allow the commercialization of vehicles running on 100% renewable Superethanol-E85, in addition to fully electric vehicles, after 2035. <\/p>\n

Moreover, electrification alone will not be sufficient to meet all drivers\u2019 needs, given the required resources and infrastructure. It will need to be combined with the use of CO\u2082-neutral fuels in hybrids and plug-in hybrids equipped with smaller batteries. <\/p>\n
