Biofuel
Syntech ASB (Advanced Smart Biofuel) is produced from waste vegetable oils and residues including Used Cooking Oil (UCO). The process of transesterification produces FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester)
Inside the Factory
This is how we make our carbon saving sustainable biofuel, Syntech ASB, which is entirely Made in Britain from waste vegetable oils used in the UK only.
Using Syntech ASB immediately reduces emissions, improves air quality and helps us tackle climate change. More importantly, Syntech ASB helps to decarbonise our energy and transport systems and transition away from fossil fuel use, paving the pathway to net zero 2050 and ensuring future generations will never have to face this crisis again.
Syntech ASB can be used as a drop-in fuel replacement for fossil diesel in all modern diesel engines without the need for any modification.
It can be used in generators, construction and plant machinery (Non-Road Moving Machinery) such as diggers and site vehicles which can greatly reduce the emissions levels currently created by large infrastructure projects.
It can also be blended with standard diesel and meets the BS EN 14214 standard. Current forecourt diesel has 7% bio-diesel blend. 7% biofuel-93% diesel (B7).
The higher the blend, the better the environmental outcome.
Our biofuel reduces emissions
Biofuel reduces harmful emissions such as Particulate Matters (PM2.5 ), Sulphur Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) which are known to contribute to 7 million deaths per year globally.
Emissions of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) are either slightly reduced or slightly increased depending on the duty cycle of the engine and testing methods used. NOx reducing additives are widely available.
We live in the age of smart technology. We consider our advanced biofuel to be a smart fuel. Every litre of fossil fuel we replace gives a GHG emissions reduction of up to 86%.
The materials we use to produce biofuel are waste oils. By harvesting and re-using these waste products we disrupt poor environmental outcomes, we make a positive intervention to reduce health crises and we help to build a circular economy manufacturing clean energy and fuel that is truly sustainable. And we’re accredited by the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) to prove it!
That’s why Syntech ASB is smart!
