GUYD 2 Bio Emissions (G2B)

Biofuel research in Scotland

 

G2B have developed a process for the additional refining of petroleum/butanol/ethanol blends achieving significant reductions in CO2 tailpipe exhaust emissions.
G2B has now processed n-butanol and bioethanol/unleaded petrol blends and the first test results are shown below.
It is important to understand the fact that TWO products can be produced after processing (as shown by the chromatograms), product 'a' and by product 'b'.

The B25b sample is a blend of 25% processed B85b product with 75% BP ultimate(ethanol free) unleaded petrol.

Having produced significant CO2 tailpipe emission reductions (48% compared to unprocessed) with B25b, G2B is now actively seeking funding to investigate previously processed ethanol/butanol/diesel 'b'products.
AVGAS has also been processed but remains untested.
All processed fuels are used directly from the fuel tank. Ieprecombustion, making vehicle or engine modification unnecessary.
AS B25b is a 'drop-in' fuel, G2B will focus on the investigation of further n-butanol processed blends.
Samples of all processed fuels are available.
G2B is a micro SME with no current academic or industry links.

 

Results of processed unleaded Petrol


In the absence of measured molecular weights for the SCN groups of the fluids, Whitson's Generalised data have been applied in the derivation of the molar compositions. These are tabulated below.

Opinion and Updates

 

MIT Technology review-FORGET ETHANOL- it's hard to transport and gives bad mileage per gallon. Anotheralchohol, butanol, is a much better fuel says the president of BP Biofuels.

ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY- Some of the most important research questions revolve around butanol's impact on emission behaviour.

CELTIC RENEWABLES- The inherent chemical properties of biobutanol make it a superior transport fuel for use in combustion engines. It can run in unmodified engines at any blend with petrol and may also be blended with diesel and biodiesel.

GREEN BIOLOGICS- Biobutanol has many advantages both as a direct biofuel and as a biofuel blend to existing fuels(both gasoline and diesel).

THE LIGHT PARTY- Butanol when consumed in an internal combustion engine yields no SOX, NOX or carbon monoxide Co2 is the combustion product of butanol.

 

Test Engine

 

  • Test engine- wolf 2800dv petrol generator with single cylinder 6.5hp 4stroke ohv engine.
  • Unleaded petrol and b85 readings at 1000rpm approx.
  • B25b readings at 1300rpm approx .
  • No adjustments made to the engine during or between tests.
  • High hc reading due to difficulty governing down the engine revs.
  • No claim has been made that these are 'finished' fuels.
