PASCAGOULA, Miss. - Chevron officials are hitting the road across the Gulf Coast this week to show off a new gasoline blend they believe is the future of fuel. As part of the Future Fuels Showcase, Chevron partnered with Toyota for the trip. They’ll fuel up a Toyota Tundra, RAV4 and Camry with the renewable gasoline blend to demonstrate how it can be used in almost any gasoline-powered vehicle. Renewable gasoline uses agricultural biofuels like ethanol and soybeans, traditional petroleum products, and other components derived from sources like used cooking oil. The result is a gasoline that looks and drives like traditional gasoline, but with a much smaller carbon footprint. The road trip started Monday in Mississippi and will run through Louisiana before concluding in Texas. “Multiple solutions are needed to help lower the carbon intensity of the transportation sector,” said Andy Walz, Chevron’s president of Americas Products. “(R)enewable gasoline blends could empower virtually all drivers to have a role in a lower carbon transportation future." Chevron is already producing and marketing biodiesel, renewable diesel and renewable natural gas, and is currently building hydrogen fueling infrastructure in California. (WLOX 04/18/23)
