View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 214, 215 and 216 together.
I am aware of the product referred to which is a commercial fuel additive, with the stated objective of facilitating increased engine efficiency and thereby reducing air pollutant and carbon emissions. I have no direct role in relation to commercial market decisions on the use of particular fuel additives or similar products but broadly welcome any initiatives in this sector that seek to increase engine efficiency and reduce emissions.
