Chemicals company DuPont and BP are working together to develop transportation biofuels that would help reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions, the companies said.
The pair plan to roll out their first product, a gasoline bio-component called biobutanol, next year in Britain. They will work with British Sugar, a subsidiary of Associated British Foods, to convert an ethanol fermentation facility to produce the biobutanol, which has the potential to be blended into gasoline at higher concentrations than existing biofuels without the need to retrofit vehicles.
"DuPont firmly believes that biology will help us reduce our global reliance on fossil fuels," DuPont chairman and chief executive officer Charles Holliday said.
The companies said biofuels account for less than 2%of global transportation fuels today, but projections show biofuels could become up to 30 percent of the fuel mix in key markets, Reuters reported.
