The increasingly stringent targets for the automotive industry towards sustainability are being addressed not only with the improvement of engine efficiency, but also with growing research about alternative, synthetic, and CO2-neutral fuels. These fuels are produced using renewable energy sources, with the goal of making them CO2-neutral and also to reduce a significant amount of engine emissions, especially particulate matter (PM) and total hydrocarbon (THC). The objective of this work is to study the behavior and the potential of an eFuel developed by Porsche, called POSYN (POrscheSYNthetic) and to compare it with a standard gasoline.
