Biofuel Tagging with TRACERCO™ Taggants

Fuels derived from renewable sources, such as biodiesel and bioethanol are becoming an important part of the energy matrix in most countries, especially with the current high price of crude oil. That is why Tracerco has developed a unique range of TRACERCO™ Taggants specifically for use in biofuels. The TRACERCO™ F-Tag series developed for biodiesel and bioethanol are fully bespoke, organic molecules that fully mimic the behaviour of the fluid which is tagged, allowing its presence to be determined in petroleum based fuels (gasoline or diesel) down to a level of below +/-2%.

Analysis of the TRACERCO™ F-Tags within the fuels can be carried out either in a laboratory , using existing facilities, or in the field using fully customer bespoke analytical equipment.

TRACERCO™ F-Tag can be utilised by governments or fuel companies as part of wider anti-adulteration, quality assurance or brand protection programmes, thus allowing with confidence biodiesel and bioethanol to enter into the consumer fuels markets.
