Abstract

Diesel fuel is the most consumed fuel in the transport sector in Europe; moreover its consumption is increased yearly. As a result, the European refining system has a deficit in diesel production and a surplus in gasoline. This imbalance can be partially solved by adding ethanol to diesel fuel. This kind of fuel blend has been deeply studied in the US and Brazil but not in Europe.

The objective of this study is a) to evaluate the present status of ethanol-diesel blends, b) to identify barriers that hinder its use as fuel and c) provide technical solutions to introduce ethanol-diesel blends into the market.
