SynSel’s selected synthetic biofuel manufacturing processes produce Synthetic Biofuel that has a significantly reduced greenhouse gas emission profile compared with both petroleum-based fuel and First-Generation Biofuels such as soy-based biodiesel and corn-based ethanol. A Michigan Tech University study found that wood-derived fuel like that produced by SynSel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90% compared with petroleum-based equivalents.
SynSel fuel also overcomes key limitations of First-Generation Biofuels including:
Using Wood feedstock that has no nutritional value which, thereby, does not create the food vs. fuel dilemma like corn used to make ethanol
Improving diesel performance in colder climates
Being drop-in, tank ready that does not require engine modifications
Not having “blend wall” limits
SynSel fuel is an environmentally responsible replacement for traditional fossil-based fuels. The fuels meet diesel ASTM D-975-11 and gasoline ASTM D-4814 specifications. It also qualifies for US incentives and tax credits such as RINs, Low Carbon Fuel Standard, renewable fuel manufacturing & blender tax credits.
