AdBlue®, which uses the reducing properties of ammonia, is sprayed into the exhaust stream of diesel vehicles and breaks down NOx into harmless nitrogen and water. * Registered trademark of Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V.(VDA)
For details, please refer to "High-Grade Urea Solution AdBlue®"

■ GTL Fuel

GTL Fuel is a replacement fuel for diesel. Being derived from natural gas, it is a cleaner than diesel fuel with reduced environmental impact. With properties equivalent to oilderived products, it emits approximately 8.5% less CO2 than diesel fuel. 
For details, please refer to "GTL Fuel"

■ Renewable Diesel

Renewable diesel is manufactured using raw materials such as used cooking oil, waste animal fats, etc. that do not compete with food products. It achieves up to 90% reduction in GHG emissions over the fuel’s life cycle compared to fossil diesel. Renewable diesel is a next-generation biofuel as a type of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil).
For details, please refer to "Renewable Diesel"
