MedKoo Cat#: 146366 | Name: Farnesane

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Farnesane is a saturated hydrocarbon (specifically, a branched alkane) derived from farnesene, a naturally occurring sesquiterpene. It is primarily used as a renewable diesel and aviation biofuel component due to its high energy density, low freezing point, and clean-burning properties. Farnesane functions by blending with conventional fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve combustion characteristics.
