Tenneco exploring synthetic fuels for climate-neutral mobility; NAMOSYN project

Green Car Congress

A climate-neutral alternative to petroleum-based fuels, they also offer the potential for significantly reduced overall emissions, allowing Tenneco’s Clean Air experts to better manage any remaining pollutants through the aftertreatment process. We are excited to be an active part in the development of this type of technology.
