Sustainable fuel on sale

Pioneering renewable fuel specialist, Coryton, has launched the UK’s first publicly available sustainable fuel. The SUSTAIN Classic range allows regular combustion-engined vehicles to be fuelled by environmentally friendly plant-based petrol without the need for engine modifications.

It’s the first time that members of the public have been able to purchase the dropin replacement fuel, which offers a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil-based equivalents. Created in Coryton’s state-of-the-art UK laboratory, the specially formulated fuel is a direct replacement for forecourt petrol and is safe for use in modern vehicles too. It’s formulated using advanced second-generation biofuel manufactured from agricultural waste, including straw and other by-products, which wouldn’t otherwise be suitable for consumption. Three versions of SUSTAIN Classic are available; Super 80, Super 33 and Racing 50. Super 80 contains at least 80 per cent renewable content, saving more than 65 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions compared with fossil fuels, and is priced from £4.65 per litre. Super 33 contains at least 33 per cent renewables, cutting more than 25 per cent of gases, and costs from £3.80 per litre. Both are rated to 98RON, the equivalent of traditional Super Unleaded, and contain a bio-ethanol content of less than one per cent. Finally, Racing 50 is a high performance fuel rated to 102RON. Containing at least 50 per cent renewables, it costs from £5.24 per litre. The fuels have already been used extensively. At the recent Rally for The Ages event held at Bicester Heritage, over 70 cars used the Super 80 fuel to complete the course. It will also be available to those participating in the upcoming Flywheel 2023 event. SUSTAIN Classic is currently available from distributor and launch partner Motor Spirit at Bicester Heritage, with more stockists set to be added across the UK in the coming months.
