CropEnergies tests new bioethanol fuel for Stuttgart Airport
CropEnergies, Stuttgart Airport and the mineral oil company Mabanaft Deutschland are testing a fuel with 20% renewable ethanol.
The petrol fuel provided by CropEnergies and Mabanaft for test purposes is intended to help save CO2 and reduce particulate emissions.
"We are convinced that we need all technologies to decarbonise – or rather to defossilise – the transport sector. Renewable ethanol is available today and can contribute directly and with the existing infrastructure to reduce fossil carbon dioxide emissions in the vehicle fleet," said Dr Stephan Meeder, CEO of CropEnergies AG.
"Increasing the ethanol blending is the next logical step and we already want to provide a basis for a possible future standardisation with this test" added Dr Jörg Bernard, fuel expert from the research and development department of parent company Südzucker.
"We want Stuttgart to be one of the most efficient and sustainable airports in Europe in the long term,” said Lisa Schäfer, environmental management officer at the airport. "The further added value of the increased ethanol content in petrol – namely reducing particulate matter – is of great importance, especially here in the greater Stuttgart area."
