Leif Johansson told the delegates that as a major contributor to CO2 emissions Volvo is "part of the problem and part of the solution".
Peter Gollungberg, chief project manager of advanced engineering, told CMthat the favoured design will take into account the requirements ihihnof operators as well as those of legislators. The seven prototype FM9s ran on the following: • Biodiesel made from the esterification (fuel processing) of vegetable oils. Sunflower seed oil and rapeseed oil are the most common raw materials in Europe.
• Biogas -a gaseous fuel, largely made up of hydrocarboned methane. It can be extracted in sewage works, at rubbish dumps, and at other sites that contain biodegradable materials.
• Biogas and diesel these are held in separate tanks and combined for combustion. A small percentage (10%) of biodiesel, or synthetic diesel, is used to initiate compression ignition. The biogas in this case is in a liquid form.
• DME (Dimethyl ether) a gas that is handled in liquid form, under low pressure. It is made from biomass.
• Ethanol/methanol -methanol is produced through the gasification of biomass and ethanol, through the fermentation of crops rich in starch and sugar.
• Synthetic diesel a mixture of manufactured hydrocarbons produced through the gasification of biomass. Synthetic diesel can be mixed with conventional diesel.
• Hydrogen and biogas about 8% of hydrogen is mixed with biogas; the hydrogen is produced by gasifying biomass or the electrolysis of water by electricity.
