"Hey, what's the newest to be driving on right now?"- Two addicts talking? No, well, sort of…guess you could call them eco addicts - people being crazy about saving the environment, always chasing after the latest innovation.
In the field of ecological fuels, that’s SunDiesel. The German company Choren Industries , located in the former Eastern Germany, developed a technology converting biomass to energy, e.g. combustion or synthesis gas.
The globally patented process uses a multi-stage gasification process. The gas that is produced is either directly converted into electricity and heat in gas engines or is re-synthesized using as catalytic process for liquefying gas (the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis) to form a synthetic biofuel known as SunDiesel.

But where is the sun in SunDiesel?For the production any form of biomass can be used: old and young trees, straw, compost, literally anything growing in or residues of nature– assumed that it’s grown naturally with sunlight acting as the driving force.
The advantages are many:
SunDiesel can be used without any adjustment to existing infrastructure or engine systems. It can be mixed with conventional diesel fuel and is largely CO2 neutral.The idea seems to work: Choren Industries has big visions and just announced that it is looking for a location in Germany to build its second and biggest pilot project so far (shareholder is Shell with 25 percent).Estimated production per year: 200 000 tons.
The result: a real asset in the battle of climate change.
The side effect: new jobs and, hopefully, a push for Germany’s economy. A good deal!
