GASOLINE BLENDING

CARBON REDUCTION AND ENHANCED VEHICLE PERFORMANCE

The use of methanol as a fuel, both directly and as a blend component in gasoline, has increased significantly in recent years. Methanol can be blended into regular gasoline up to 3% by volume according to European standard EN228. As a fuel oxygenate, methanol improves combustion properties, reduces harmful emissions and boosts fuel octane rating (109 RON compared to 95 RON for standard gasoline)

Recent regulatory changes in different parts of the world provide blenders with economic incentives to use alternative renewable fuels as blending components. Vulcanol (TM) is categorized as Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) according to the EU Renewable Energy Directive. It is also commonly referred to as an e-fuel or specifically, e-methanol. As such, Vulcanol offers significant value to gasoline blenders and distributors that need to meet increasingly strict carbon reduction and sustainability targets.

Vulcanol (TM) produced from our current production plant in Iceland reduces carbon emissions by more than 90% compared to fossil fuels, in the complete product life-cycle, from extraction, production to end use. The production plant is certified by SGS Germany according to the ISCC Plus system, based on standard ISCC EU methodology for calculation of GHG emissions in the product life-cycle. Vulcanol has been officially recognized as an Advanced Sustainable fuel eligible for special incentives by authorities in France and the UK.
