Volvo Trucks successfully tests bio-DME for nearly a year

September 5, 2012 |

In Sweden, Volvo Trucks have successfully tested biofuel derived from the black liquor wastes produced at a pulp with 10 trucks driving on the fuel since last autumn. Carbon emissions from the fuel, known as bio-DME, are roughly 95% lower than fossil diesel. The company said bio-DME could replace half of the diesel consumed in Europe’s commercial vehicles by 2020.
