==Biobutanol== {{Main|Butanol fuel}} Butanol (''n''-butanol or isobutanol) is a potential [[biofuel]] ([[butanol fuel]]).<ref>{{cite journal|display-authors=etal|last1=Sampa Maiti |title=Quest for sustainable bio‐production and recovery of butanol as a promising solution to fossil fuel |journal=Energy Research |date=Dec 10, 2015 |volume=40 |issue=4 |pages=411–438 |doi=10.1002/er.3458|doi-access=free }}</ref> Butanol at 85 percent concentration can be used in cars designed for gasoline (petrol) without any change to the engine (unlike 85% ethanol), and it contains more energy for a given volume than ethanol and almost as much as gasoline, and a vehicle using butanol would return fuel consumption more comparable to gasoline than ethanol. Butanol can also be added to diesel fuel to reduce soot emissions.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Antoni, D. |author2=Zverlov, V. |author3=Schwarz, W.
