DOE seeking input on use of advanced biofuel blends in small engines
25 June 2015
The US Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) has released a Request for Information (DE-FOA-0001373) seeking stakeholder input on the use of advanced biofuel blends in small engines. The two specific areas of interest are:
the potential to optimize and/or modify small engines to utilize ethanol blends greater than 10% (E10); and
the barriers limiting the expansion of overall biofuel consumption in the small engine industry.
The small engines of interest for this RFI are spark-ignition, internal combustion engines such as those found in small tractors, chainsaws, hand-held line trimmers, off-road motorcycles, generator sets, personal water craft, snowmobiles, and all-terrain vehicles.
