Product Data and Technical Information

Corporate Statement

LyondellBasell has been a pioneer in the development of high-octane, clean-burning gasoline additives. Since the 1970s, these additives have been incorporated into gasoline to help meet increasing standards for high-octane, cleaner burning fuels. In order to meet the needs of our customers, LyondellBasell's product line now includes gasoline grade methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE), alkylate, and IDEAL EMP for US gasoline and recreational marine and off-road.

Benefits & Applications

IDEAL EMP is the only cost-effective, non-alcohol, high-octane blendstock with renewable content, for the E-Zero (ethanol-free) gasoline market. EMP is an EPA-registered gasoline additive produced in an ISCC-certified facility in Houston, Texas.   EMP is ideal for recreational marine and off-road applications that cannot use E10 gasoline due to its corrosivity and potential to phase-separate.   EMP-based gasolines can reduce GHG emissions up to 30% more than E10 at the same renewable content. EMP also reduces other exhaust and evaporative emissions from gasoline so users can enjoy the great outdoors powered with a cleaner burning fuel.

• 42% renewable content (from bio-ethanol)
• Improves gasoline combustion, power, and gas mileage
• Reduces evaporative emissions and pollution
• Up to 30% greater GHG reduction than E10
• Non-corrosive - does not phase separate
