Emission Reduction by Synthetic Fuels : 

Emission Reduction by Synthetic Fuels There are three Categories of Improvement: Direct improvement of local air quality by usage of synthetic fuels in existing vehicles based on the outstanding purity of the fuels Possibility to develop new combustion systems with widely improved characteristics based on the designability of synthetic fuels Reduction of global CO2 Emissions if biomass is used as primary energy for synthetic fuels
