The project, expected to take place over the next two years, is aimed at establishing greater understanding of the use of Palm Oil Methyl Esters (POME) as a motor fuel in Southeast Asia's climate. This is achieved by powering 15 diesel cars with a blend of 95 per cent ultra-low sulphur diesel and five per cent POME, fitting them with diesel particulate filters and collating their emission and fuel consumption data for evaluation.
The nine-member group's overall project coordinator is Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd. Together with government agencies such as Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and National Environment Agency (NEA), this inaugural project highlights the nation's efforts to develop and testbed energy solutions from renewable sources.
