Introduction to Ethanol: Frequently Asked Questions
Learn the answers to the most common questions about ethanol.
15 Reasons for E15
Ethanol. It’s clean, renewable, grown right here in America – and it’s already proven effective and practical in gas tanks across the country. More than 70 percent of American gas stations now sell E10 – a blend of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gas – the maximum amount allowed by a regulatory cap. But the cars we have now can run on higher blends. Raising this cap by just 5 percent will make room for the next-generation of cleaner, better ethanol, while creating jobs and lowering pollution.
Understanding the Blender’s Tax Credit and the Tariff on Imported Ethanol
There is a lot of misinformation about government investment in ethanol and the tariff on imported ethanol. In order to continue to create American jobs, increase our energy independence, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we must support our government’s wise investment in our energy future and continue to level the playing field for America’s farmers and ethanol producers.
Advanced Biofuel: Cellulosic Ethanol
Until recently, ethanol has been made only from certain parts of plants that are high in starch, like corn kernels. But new technology will soon allow us to make ethanol from cellulose – a compound found in all plant matter. The possibilities are huge, and this new technique is already changing the industry. Within a few years, it could start to change the face of energy all over the world.
The Truth About Food Prices
It’s an argument we’ve all heard - that ethanol is driving up food prices by using corn and farmland for the production of fuel. Ethanol has been blamed over the past two years for everything from higher grocery bills to world hunger. Learn the truth about ethanol in this informative brochure.
