Patent ID: 8741001

Claim:
A blended fuel comprising: (a) about 5% to about 90%, by volume, of a petroleum fuel; and (b) about 95% to about 10% by volume of a low carbon fuel produced using a thermochemical or biochemical conversion process, wherein the low carbon fuel has a well-to-wheels greenhouse gas content which is at least about 50% lower than a wells-to-wheels greenhouse gas content of a petroleum fuel, and the low carbon fuel has at least two performance characteristic values measurable by ASTM tests which are about 30% improved than corresponding performance characteristic values of the petroleum fuel; and wherein the blended fuel has a well-to-wheels greenhouse gas content which is at least 5% lower than the well-to-wheels greenhouse gas content of the petroleum fuel, and the blended fuel has at least two performance characteristic values measurable by ASTM tests which are at least about 5% improved than corresponding performance characteristic values of the petroleum fuel.
