Co-Optimization of Fuels & Engines: The Digest’s 2019 Multi-Slide Guide to Top 10 Bioblendstocks

The U.S. Department of Energy and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have created a tiered screening process that efficiently evaluates blendstocks and includes a comprehensive blendstock evaluation process.

Dan Gaspar from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory offered this illuminating presentation on the Top 10 bioblendstocks to optimize spark ignition engines, broken down into different categories like highest efficiency blendstocks with the fewest barriers versus those with the highest merit function scores. Find out where various alcohols like ethanol, isobutanol, and others are on the list and how ketones, olefins, and furans score, and more.
