Volkswagen and Archer Daniels Midland have agreed to work together for further development and use of biodiesel in the auto industry. This is a noteworthy step forward for biofuels.
Biodiesel is a cleaner burning fuel mixture which is made by blending formal diesel fuel with natural or inexhaustible resources such as canola or soybean oil. Advantages to the environment include considerably decreased carbon monoxide and emission of particulate matter like soot.
The synthetic fuel can be utilized in today’s engines and mingled with formal diesel fuel. It’s also well-suited with obtainable fuel allocation and storage systems. The fuel will support advanced power plants like the company’s combined combustion system (CCS).
All this means an important step toward a hydrogen fuel cell. The feedstock for such a synthetic fuel may be biomass and it will have the benefit of dropping greenhouse gas emissions.
