Study finds low-carbon bio-alcohols and bio-ketones have high potential for vehicular emissions abatement

In the UK, Green Car Congress reported that a study by a team from the University of Birmingham found that low-carbon bio-alcohols and bio-ketones in advanced clean propulsion systems demonstrate a high potential for strategies for vehicular emissions abatement, such as their utilization in hybrid vehicles.

In the short term, the researchers conclude, this will improve air quality, overcome full electric vehicle infrastructure challenges, ensure sustainable feedstock sources, and address economic considerations.
