    Welcome...

    to this learning material about "Renewable fuels".
    
    Here you will find detailed information on fuels that have the potential to replace traditional, petroleum-based fuels. We would like to start by giving you an overview of the learning opportunities.
    
    

    
    

    
    

  • Aktivität Information about this learning module auswählen

    This module provides an overview of the production processes of different types of fuels that are already available or may play a significant role in replacing petroleum-based fuels in the future. Renewable fuels can make an important contribution when it comes to being able to use existing engines and vehicles for longer, building up a fuel supply based on existing infrastructure or achieving longer ranges for heavy goods vehicles or long-haul flights.

    Information is also provided on the raw materials from which advanced fuels are obtained. This learning offer can be worked through chronologically or, depending on your interests, in sections. It is divided into lessons, each lesson contains explanatory texts, graphics, quizzes for self-assessment and links to further material (e.g. reports, magazine articles or videos) to explire deeper into the topic.
