Seven alternatives – with different prerequisites
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
• Synthetic diesel
• DME – Dimethylether
• Methanol/Ethanol
• Biogas
• Biogas + Biodiesel
Biogas and biodiesel are combined with separate tanks and injection systems. A minor percentage (10 percent) biodiesel, or synthetic diesel, is used to achieve compression ignition. Biogas in this alternative is in cooled, liquid form.
• Hydrogen + Biogas
