Drop in fuel to SUSTAIN success for Formula Student
All petrol vehicles taking part in this year’s Formula Student competition will use SUSTAIN biofuels supplied by bespoke fuels specialist Coryton.
Run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Formula Student competition challenges engineering students to design, manufacture and run a single-seater race car.
The 35 entrants in 2025 running petrol engines have been given the choice of fuelling with SUSTAIN Racing 100E (107 RON), which is 82 per cent ethanol, or SUSTAIN 100 (95 RON) which is 10 per cent ethanol.
These blends comprise of 100 per cent sustainable materials and are designed as a drop-in solution.
These SUSTAIN products use advanced second-generation biofuel manufactured from agricultural waste, such as straw, by-products or waste from crops which wouldn’t be used for consumption.
The fuels being used at the event will offer an 85 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel, when calculated using a full life cycle analysis.
Suresh Nahar, SUSTAIN brand manager, said the sustainable components used within the SUSTAIN products are all fully tracked and audited through a number of globally recognised voluntary certifications such as ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification), REDcert and 2BSvs.
