GVL is produced by hydrogenation of levulinic acid, which can be produced, potentially at low cost, from agricultural waste by commercial-scale process. GVL retains 97% of the energy content of glucose and performs comparably to ethanol when used as a blending agent (10% v/v) in conventional gasoline. West, James A.

Even on land, getting oil from tar sands depletes water and other resources and doubles oil’s carbon footprint. We’ve already decided we’re going to fix already-built houses, offices and factories that waste energy. With Drive Star, we have the motivation, the technology, and the resources to cut our oil use in half in ten years.
