The Volvo Group is studying and assessing all of the renewable fuels that could conceivably be used for the Group’s products.
Read more about seven renewable fuels that we have evaluated:
• Biodiesel
Biodiesel is produced through the esterification of vegetable oils. Rapeseed oil and sunflower oil are the most common feedstocks in Europe. Biodiesel can be mixed with conventional diesel fuel. Another promising means of producing diesel fuel is through hydrogenation of vegetable oils
• Synthetic diesel
• DME – Dimethylether
• Methanol/Ethanol
• Biogas
• Biogas + Biodiesel
• Hydrogen + Biogas
