Greyrock Energy announced that it completed extensive testing of its premium diesel fuel at an advanced heavy-duty diesel engine dynamometer laboratory.
“While our fuel meets ASTM diesel fuel specifications, it is important to understand how the fuel performs in today’s heavy-duty diesel truck engines,” said Dr. Dennis Schuetzle, Greyrock’s chief technology officer. “The fuel performed very well, showing reduced particulate emissions, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide emissions,” Schuetzle said.
Greyrock’s synthetic diesel fuel is produced from natural gas using Greyrock’s proprietary MicroGTL systems. The fuel significantly exceeds ASTM D975 standards in critical areas such as cetane, sulfur, lubricity and lower aromatic content, the company said in a statement. These premium properties result in the improved performance over traditional diesel, the company said.
Greyrock Energy develops technologies for the direct conversion of natural gas into pump-ready transportation fuels. Greyrock was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Sacramento, California.
