- Biogasoline
Biogasoline are
hydrocarbon s produced frombiomass such asalgae , and containing between 5 (hexane ) and 12 (heptanone ) carbon atoms per molecule. Biogasoline is different frombiobutanol andbioethanol , as they arebioalcohol s and not hydrocarbons.BG100, or 100% biogasoline, can immediately be used as a drop-in substitute for
petroleum gasoline in any conventionalgasoline engine , and can be distributed in the same fueling infrastructure, as the properties match traditional gasoline from petroleum.
