DK25 is the fuel that may lead the ICE into a greener future. The registered brand name "Klimadiesel" promises to release up to 25 percent less CO₂ emissions. According to ADAC statistics, only around two percent of vehicles in Germany are still electrically powered, which means that the overwhelming majority continue to rely on combustion engines. But the filling station network may soon offer these drivers nationwide hope by gradually introducing so-called climate diesel. The introduction of the more environmentally friendly fuel is intended to mark the upswing in internal combustion engines in Germany. The synthetic fuel DK25, which emits up to 25 percent less CO₂ new emissions, is already available in parts of Germany and is to be introduced nationwide.
Air conditioning diesel DK25
DK25 consists of around 33 percent biological residues and waste such as used vegetable fat. Technically, all diesel vehicles can use the fuel that can be mixed with conventional diesel, has the same cold properties and the same consumption. The environmental benefits of the fuel make it an environmentally friendly alternative. However, the fuel still costs around six cents more than normal diesel. And a synthetic fuel, the so-called e-fuel, is already being planned for petrol engines, although the exact date is still unknown. And not all gas stations plan to introduce such environmental fuels in the near future.
