Users can evaluate the impacts on energy use, water consumption, and emissions of e-fuel production pathways using different hydrogen (H 2 ) and electricity sources. Blended with a petroleum gasoline blendstock, these bio-blendstocks are designed to improve engine efficiency for light-duty, boosted-spark ignition (BSI) engines.
