While many manufacturers are focusing on electric vehicles, Volkswagen denotes by announcing that its 4-cylinder diesel engines marketed since last June are compatible with the new paraffinic diesels, of which there is a wide range: some are produced from biological residues and wastes such as HVO for example, hydrotreated vegetable oil.
This waste is converted to hydrocarbons by reaction with hydrogen and can be added to diesel.
However, they can also be used alone as fuel.
Vegetable oils such as rapeseed oil can also be used for the production of HVO, but the environmental benefit is only optimal by using biological residues and wastes such as used cooking oil, sawdust. wood, etc.
The HVO is already available on the market, in a few rare stations.
Volkswagen announces CO2 emissions reductions of around 70 to 95% compared to conventional diesel!
Here is an interesting alternative that could be more widely used during this period of energy transition.
