Kemfert: Klimadiesel HVO100 wird Verbrenner nicht retten
Beim Verbrennen von Öko-Diesel HVO100 wird weniger Feinstaub freigesetzt als bei herkömmlichem – fossilem – Diesel. Eine Chance für Verbrenner-Motoren?
HVO100 is a type of renewable diesel fuel made from 100% vegetable oils or animal fats.
It is a drop-in fuel, meaning it can be used in existing diesel engines without any modifications.
HVO100 is a cleaner-burning alternative to traditional diesel fuel, with lower emissions of greenhouse gases, particulate matter, and nitrogen oxides.
It has a higher cetane number than conventional diesel fuel, which means it ignites more easily and burns more efficiently, leading to better engine performance.
HVO100 has a similar energy content to regular diesel fuel, so vehicles running on it will experience similar power and fuel efficiency.
It is biodegradable and non-toxic, making it safer for the environment and human health compared to traditional diesel fuel.
HVO100 can be produced from a variety of feedstocks, including soybean oil, canola oil, palm oil, and animal fats, providing flexibility in sourcing raw materials.
It is compatible with existing fuel distribution infrastructure, so no additional investments are needed to switch to HVO100.
HVO100 is considered a sustainable fuel because it can be produced from renewable resources and offers significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil diesel fuel.
It is gaining popularity in various countries as a cleaner alternative to traditional diesel fuel, with many governments incentivizing its production and use to meet their climate goals.
