Compliant with EU standards
Sustainable Fuels continuously promotes best practices for handling fuel ethers as part of its commitment to human health and the environment. Fuel ethers are registered under REACH and all necessary studies and documentation confirm that they are produced and used in a safe manner, not just in Europe but also globally.
Fuel ethers have been subjected to EU risk assessments, which confirm that fuel ethers are not mutagenic, teratogenic or reproductive toxicants. The ETBE, MTBE and TAME Chemical Safety Reports confirm this assessment. For more information please click here.
Product Stewardship
The fuel ethers industry is committed to the highest standards of production, storage and transportation of its products.
The industry has invested significantly in research to ensure that its products are produced and handled safely, minimising risks to human health and the environment.
Sustainable Fuels is an active member of various fora to address the issue of ship-related product discharges: in 2009 Sustainable Fuels was officially admitted as a participant in IKSR, the International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine, and is in regular contact with national authorities.
