Turkish Firm Invents More Efficient Fuel with Boron
A Turkish technology firm in Edirne has produced fuel with boron through the use of nanotechnology.
NNT Nanotechnology and Boron Products General Manager Mehmet Can Arvas said the invention was a result of the need to find alternative energy resources amidst the increased threat caused by the world’s depleting fuel reserves.The new fuel is currently only being used as an ingredient of the gas or diesel used in fuel tanks but Arvas is hopeful that it will replace these carbon-based fuels once compatible engines are produced.
Arvas said vehicles using fuel containing boron would be able to travel 1,300 kilometers on the same amount of gas that a car using ordinary fuel would need in order to travel 1,000 kilometers. A reduction in pollution is another benefit of the new boron product, he added.
