Ecalene™
PEFI will market and distribute Ecalene™, the world's premium mixed-alcohol transportation fuel. Ecalene™'s unique blend of alcohols gives it performance properties that excel over gasoline, diesel fuel and all commercially produced synthetic fuels (see table 1). Ecalene™ has an octane rating of 124+ that is 33% to 43% higher than regular unleaded gasoline, which is rated between 87 and 93 Octane. It is 10% higher than ethanol at a 113 octane rating and 18% higher than for E85 fuel.

Ecalene™'s formulation properties enable it to be used as a stand-alone fuel in flex- fuel engines and in jet aircraft (an application unsuited to ethanol produced from fermentation). Ecalene™ has higher energy content than ethanol and will provide better gas mileage than ethanol when blended into gasoline as an oxygenate or octane booster. Ecalene™ has been registered with the EPA as a fuel additive (Fuel ID. #1744-0001 per 40 CFR 79.23). It is roughly estimated that Ecalene™ will reduce car emissions to levels approximately 80-90% of the emissions levels for unleaded gasoline. Most cars, trucks, buses, jet aircraft and boats can be modified to run on pure Ecalene™.
