Chevron / Toyota road trip demonstrates renewable gasoline blend

Green Car Congress

APRIL 18, 2023

Chevron USA kicked off a road trip across the US Gulf Coast to showcase an innovative new gasoline blend with more than 50% renewable content. In February 2022, a team from Argonne National Lab published a report “Carbon Intensities of Refining Products in Petroleum Refineries with Co-Processed Biofeedstocks”.

Refinery emissions—GHGs such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide—can be divided into three categories: stationary combustion, process, and miscellaneous. Process emissions can be abated through carbon capture and storage technology. This could reduce fuel carbon intensities by up to 80%.

Neste Oil will launch a completely new grade of diesel fuel in Finland this fall: Neste Pro Diesel. Carbon residue. % The fuel will be used for the first time by the organizers of the Neste Oil Rally in August. With its renewable fuel (NExBTL) component, Neste Pro Diesel reduces a vehicle’s greenhouse gas emissions by 10-20%.

Today, the term “alternative” is used for all fuels that are not a part of the fossil fuel group—diesel, gasoline, heavy oil and kerosene. Truly sustainable fuels come from renewable sources, have no negative impact on the environment when they are burned and do not produce emissions of greenhouse gas.

The study was based on camelina grown in Montana by Sustainable Oils and processed into renewable jet and diesel fuels using UOP hydroprocessing technology. It is estimated that the state of Montana alone could support between 2 and 3 million acres of camelina, generating 200 to 300 million gallons of oil each year.
