Wageningen Food & Biobased Research worked closely on this development with MacroFuels partners, and specially with the Dutch technological institute TNO and the Danish Technological Institute (DTI). TNO produced raw material out of seaweed from which biobutanol was made in Wageningen. The biobutanol was mixed with conventional gasoline, resulting in 100 liters of B10 fuel with biobutanol. The results of the engine tests showed that this mix is just as suitable as conventional fuels. The test car delivered comparable performance and the emission results also matched.
