CropEnergies, Mabanaft and Stuttgart Airport test climate fuel Super Eco 20, 20% renewable ethanol.
In a joint project, CropEnergies AG, Mannheim, together with Stuttgart Airport and the mineral oil company Mabanaft Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, Hamburg, are testing a climate fuel with 20 percent renewable ethanol.
The petrol fuel provided by CropEnergies and Mabanaft for test purposes is intended to help save CO2 and reduce particulate emissions. The 100 octane of the new “Super Eco 20” promises particular efficiency.
Dr Stephan Meeder, CEO of CropEnergies AG.

We are convinced that we need all technologies to decarbonise – or rather to defossilise – the transport sector.
“Renewable ethanol is available today and can contribute directly and with the existing infrastructure to reduce fossil carbon dioxide emissions in the vehicle fleet.”
Dr Jörg Bernard, fuel expert from the research and development department of parent company Südzucker.
Increasing the ethanol blending is the next logical step and we already want to provide a basis for a possible future standardisation with this test.
Lisa Schäfer, Environmental Management Officer at the airport.
We want fairport STR to be one of the most efficient and sustainable airports in Europe in the long term.
“We are pursuing a consistent electrification strategy for our vehicle fleet. For vehicles that are not yet electric, we rely on climate fuels such as Super Eco 20 to reduce CO2 emissions.”
“The further added value of the increased ethanol content in petrol – namely reducing particulate matter – is of great importance, especially here in the greater Stuttgart area.”
The trial is being accompanied by well-known car manufacturers and suppliers who are taking care of technical analyses and emissions.
“We are pleased to have started this climate-friendly project with Stuttgart Airport as an innovative partner for sustainable mobility and are eagerly awaiting the final results,” concludes Dr Stephan Meeder.
