NOVEMBER 30, 2018

The fuel, jointly developed by Volkswagen, the Coburg University and other project partners, contains up to 33% renewable components based exclusively on residual and waste materials and enables CO 2 savings of at least 20% compared to conventional diesel thanks to the use of biofuels. Volkswagen employees tested the new fuel initially.

Business must do even more for climate protection, even in difficult times, said Franz Fehrenbach, chairman of the Bosch board of management, an a talk at the Baden-Württemberg sustainability congress held in Stuttgart on 25 March ( Nachhaltigkeitskongress Baden-Württemberg 2009 ). In Fehrenbach’s view, this would be a breach of trust.

With synthetic diesel fuels of the EN15940 standard, CO 2 emissions can be reduced by up to 100% compared to fossil diesel. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO or renewable diesel), which is already commercially available today, reduces CO 2 emissions by up to 90%.

Although fully establishing this ideal will not be possible initially, climate protection is best served by putting its elements in place from the inception of a policy regime rather than using approaches such as LCA that are poorly grounded in the principles of sound environmental management. —John DeCicco.

The legislation would also provide new incentives for domestic oil and gas drilling, nuclear power plant construction, carbon capture and storage, and renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Ultimately, the decision of whether to invest in renewable energy will be made by investors taking a cold, hard look at economic realities.
