ClearFlame teams with Alto Ingredients to pilot its ethanol in diesel trucks

May 18, 2021 |

In Illinois, ClearFlame Engine Technologies announced a partnership with Alto Ingredients, Inc. to conduct pilot demonstrations of its proven solution for diesel engines using low-cost ethanol in Class VIII trucks.

ClearFlame will provide Alto with a Class VIII truck retrofitted with a 500hp heavy-duty demonstration engine, which can match diesel torque and efficiency by achieving true diesel-style combustion of any decarbonized fuel. In turn, Alto will provide fuel and fleet support, which will enable real-world testing on the road. ClearFlame anticipates its engine running on ethanol can reduce GHG vehicle emissions by more than 45 percent and offer an estimated 15-30 percent TCO savings when compared with a diesel-fueled solution.
