Q&A with BioMCN - Rob Voncken, CEO
Author: just-auto.com editorial team | 22 September 2009

Automotive applications are being readied, especially in the substitution of bio-methanol for bio-ethanol in gasoline blends. And the vision for more efficient energy utilisation and lower CO2 emissions does not end there, as BioMCN CEO Rob Voncken explains to just-auto editor Dave Leggett.
