Birmingham study finds butanol-gasoline blend reduces GDI engine-out carbonaceous emissions; similar NOx

Green Car Congress

A feasible short-to-midterm solution for addressing additional emissions reduction with a decreased in the demand of high quality fossil fuels is to use renewable bio-alcohols fuels such as butanol, which is considered a second generation of renewable transportation fuel. For the study, the team used a fou-cylinder, 2.0-liter
