from VTT Technical Research Centre in Finland and Neste showed that a combination of ethanol or isobutanol with bio-hydrocarbon components offers an option to reach high gasoline bioenergy content for E10-compatible cars. Fuel comparison. examined the exhaust emissions of three cars using different biofuels at a temperature of −7 °C.

A team of researchers in Finland reports that by adjusting engine parameters for the use of hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) renewable diesel fuel across a range of loads (50%, 75%, and 100%), particulate matter and NO x emissions can both be reduced by more than 25% relative to the values from using HVO with standard engine conditions.
