To date, there have been no commercial solutions to replace fossil fuels and reduce the high greenhouse gas emissions of conventional petrol-powered cars without investing in new cars or retrofitting old ones.
In this, which is a world leader renewable diesel fuels a sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) could be the first company to develop renewable petrol for such commercial use in existing cars. A final testing phase has now been launched with the aim of completing commercial tests of the fuel, thus ensuring a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from petrol and hybrid cars.
The European Union (EU) has recently raised its target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to at least 55% by 2030. Ambitious national targets have also been set, for example in Sweden and Finland, including separate emission reduction mandates for petrol engine emissions. However, currently available alternatives to petrol-powered cars do not lead to a significant reduction in fossil petrol use in a sufficiently short time.
Steps are being taken to address these challenges: In this Greenhouse gas emissions from renewable petrol can be reduced by as much as 65% * over the life cycle of the fuel compared to fossil fuels. In this the aim is to improve this figure by gradually achieving a 90% reduction in emissions through fuel use. This would mean that life cycle greenhouse gas emissions would be equivalent to those of electric cars.
With In this Greenhouse gas emissions from renewable petrol can be reduced by as much as 65% compared to fossil fuels. In this way, countries would be able to increase their national targets to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as the industry is able to provide new, efficient solutions.

The product complies with the EN228 standard and can be used in both existing and new cars equipped with petrol and hybrid engines. Renewable petrol is thus able to provide another tool in the EU to meet the ambitious target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.
New fuel tests are being conducted in conjunction with Volvo Cars supplier Powertrain Engineering Sweden AB. Powertrain Engineering Sweden, who Volvo Cars and other manufacturers supplying propulsion and next – generation hybrid systems are currently being evaluated In this renewable gasoline.
We use renewable fuels, including In this renewable gasoline, we follow the development with great interest and believe that it has great potential. Our product combination with In this Renewable petrol will allow car owners to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 65%.

Testing is performed both in the laboratory with the engine idling and In this during test drives with two cars. The purpose of these tests is to investigate the properties of the fuel and make adjustments to further reduce emissions before commercial trials begin. In this plans to evaluate the results in the coming months.

More details on In this renewable gasoline
Although the share of electric cars is growing rapidly, the EU estimates that 60% of Europe’s car fleet in 2030 will be made up of cars with internal combustion engines. Therefore, solutions are needed to reduce emissions in the transport sector. Liquid biofuels, combined with electrification, biogas, hydrogen and changes in consumer behavior, will play an important role in reducing emissions from the transport sector.
In this develops fuels that have the same characteristics as fossil gasoline, but are made from renewable feedstocks. The renewable gasoline we test is more than 75% organic. The rest are traditional fossil gasoline components to meet the current EN228 standard specifications. In parallel with testing and commercialization, In this invests in long-term development to produce renewable gasoline with up to 95% biological content. The biological content of the fuel is expected to consist of various biological components and current In this Renewable petrol tests are designed to determine the optimal combination.
Charged opinion
Let us not deceive ourselves by saying that burning this biogasoline will have the same effect as driving an electric car. All you have to do is look at the muffler to understand that nothing would change in reality. Exhaust emissions will remain the same no matter how beautiful the formulas look on paper. If you don’t believe me, you are welcome to join the challenge – I will be in a poorly ventilated garage with an electric car on, you will be in another poorly ventilated garage with a biogasoline combustion car on.
