For the first time, Audi’s successful R10 TDI race cars that will take part at the Le Mans 24 Hours race in mid June will run on a next generation synthetic diesel fuel manufactured from Biowaste.In particular, a small amount of Biofuel is mixed with the components of a synthetic fuel named GTL which is created from Natural Gas in a process called Gas To Liquids: BTL (Biomass To Liquids), as it is officially called, is extracted from Biowaste that is unfit for use in foodstuffs, for example from waste wood. The synthetic diesel fuel promises a reduction in the amount of CO2 emission by almost 90 per cent compared to traditional diesel fuel.
