Ethanol Basics
Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from various plant materials collectively known as “biomass.” More than 98% of U.S. gasoline contains ethanol.
Ethanol Laws and Incentives
State and federal governments enact laws and provide incentives to help build and maintain a market for ethanol fuel and vehicles.
Flexible Fuel Vehicles
Flexible fuel vehicles have an internal combustion engine and are capable of operating on gasoline and any blend of gasoline and ethanol up to 83%.
Benefits and Considerations
A gallon of ethanol contains less energy than a gallon of gasoline, resulting in lower fuel economy when operating your vehicle.
How will Ethanol benefit my business?
Ethanol(C2H5OH), also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol, is a high-octane liquid fuel derived from various plant materials, or “biomass.” It is a renewable, non-toxic, clean burning fuel alternative to traditional fuels that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 50%.
Ethanol is produced by fermenting and distilling plant starches, sugars or cellulosic material:
- starch: corn, barley, and wheat.
- sugar: sugarcane (primary feedstock in Brazil)
- cellulosic: wood, corn stalks, rice straw, sugar cane bagasse, pulpwood, switchgrass, algae, and municipal solid waste.
