Mazda’s 35th MX-5 anniversary: How Celtic Renewables can help create a fully sustainable car with green chemicals

For Mazda’s 35th anniversary of the MX-5, we were delighted to welcome the team and four car models to our Biorefinery in Grangemouth. The cars embarked on a 1,000-mile journey from Land’s End to John O’Groats using 100% biofuel from SUSTAIN Fuel, derived from agricultural waste.

Mazda and SUSTAIN Fuel chose Celtic Renewables as one of their stops to refuel on their journey, which was featured in the Scotsman. While we do not offer biofuel for cars, unless in niche applications, we were happy to support this project, and showcase how our green chemicals – bioacetone & biobutanol – can be used in the creation of a fully sustainable car.

How can Celtic Renewables’ green chemicals —bioacetone & biobutanol— support the creation of a fully sustainable car?

• Bioacetone: Found in electronics such as computer chips, circuit boards, and PC components, as well as in high-performance race fuel for niche applications.

• Biobutanol: Used in car care products including resins, lacquers, paints, varnishes, synthetic lubricants, hydraulic fluids, de-icer, and cleaning compounds, as well as in fuel additives.

At Celtic Renewables, our vision is to replace fossil fuel-derived chemicals with sustainable, biologically derived green chemicals. Sustainability and the environment are at the heart of what we do, and we fully support companies like Mazda and SUSTAIN in their use of biofuels derived from waste. We are thrilled to collaborate with both parties and demonstrate how our green chemicals can further contribute to creating a fully sustainable car.
