About Ethanol

Ethanol is a clean burning, high octane biofuel produced from grain, which is a renewable source, and can be grown year after year. In its most basic sense, ethanol is a grain alcohol produced from sources such as corn and sugar. Pure 100% ethanol is normally not used as a replacement for gasoline, but the integration of up to 20% ethanol into a gasoline supply can cut down on not only the amount of oil consumed, but also on the emissions generated by the burning of that fuel. Ethanol significantly reduces harmful exhaust emissions, which contribute to global warming. The United Nations expects all biofuels to account for a full 25% of world energy needs by 2025.
