In the future, companies hope to completely replace traditional fuel in cars with internal combustion engines.
Japanese automakers, led by Toyota Motor, have launched bioethanol production in an experimental plant in Fukushima Prefecture, reports Nikkei Asia.
The factory works under the leadership of the Biomass Research Association for the fuel of the future generation, which includes Toyota, Suzuki, Subaru, Daihatsu, Mazda, Toyota Tsusho and the Eneos oil company.
The purpose of the project is to reduce the trace of carbon of cars with internal combustion engines and expand their existence during electric vehicles, because, unlike electric vehicles that reduce leaks only for new cars, bioethanol can reduce leaks for millions of cars with interior -burn cars.
Bioethanol has long been used in fuel mixtures, giving you to reduce CO2 leaks without modernizing a car. In an experimental plant, they tried to find a more friendly and stable way to produce such fuel.
One of the problems of labor is the high cost – traditionally bioethanol is made from pipe and corn, creating a competition in the globe.
Mazda believes that biofuel can produce traditional machines not only carbon-neutral, but notagative-cines engine absorbs air during operation, they can be changed for CO2 acquisition.
An experienced factory in Fukushima costs 5 billion yen ($ 33 million), which is partially funded by the Japanese government and is capable of making 60 kilometers of bioethanol per year – this is enough for 200 Toyota Prius’s 200 cars. Initially, the fuel will be made from sorghum, but in the future they plan to move to the uncomfortable raw materials.
Toyota considers the possibility of using waste of large bioethanol plants if you can place closely at its manufacture sites.
We remind, earlier that the EU reported that the CO₂ calculation approach to automakers.
Toyota has no time for demand for its own hybrids
