red01 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) Was reading this and thought you guys would like to know. Taupo, New Zealand has been confirmed as the setting for the most important environmental initiative in the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport's short history. When the rapidly growing nation versus nation series descends on Lake Taupo for the fifth round of the 2007/08 season between 18-20 January 2008, it will become the first truly global motorsport body to switch to a 30 per cent biofuel mix. The cornerstone of an ambitious series of initiatives to help reduce its environmental footprint, A1GP's new fuel, an ethanol based product Hiperfloâ„¢ E30, is sourced from sugar beet in Europe and produced specifically for A1GP by the racing fuels specialist blender Petrochem Carless. Developed in partnership with Zytek, the series' engine manufacturer, the fuel produces less harmful particulate matter than conventional fuels and will reduce the amount of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. By implementing E30, A1GP will reduce CO2 emissions by 21% per car*. Edited December 20, 2007 by red01 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
