Ethanol fuel is ethanol (ethyl alcohol), the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. It is most often used as a motor fuel, mainly as a biofuel additive for gasoline. World ethanol production for transport fuel tripled between 2000 and 2007 from 17 billion to more than 52 billion litres. From 2007 to 2008, the share of ethanol in global gasoline type fuel use increased from 3.7% to 5.4%. In 2010 worldwide ethanol fuel production reached 22.95 billion U.S. liquid gallons(bg) (86.9 billion liters), with the United States as the top producer with 13.2 bg (50 billion liters), accounting for 57.5 percent of global production. Ethanol fuel has a "gasoline gallon equivalency" (GGE) value of 1.5 US gallons (5.7 L). Ethanol fuel is widely used in Brazil and in the United States, and together both countries were responsible for 88 percent of the world's ethanol fuel production in 2010. Most cars on the road today in the U.S. can run on blends of up to 10% ethanol, and the use of 10% ethanol gasoline is mandated in some U.S. states and cities. Since 1976 the Brazilian government has made it mandatory to blend ethanol with gasoline, and since 2007 the legal blend is around 25% ethanol and 75% gasoline (E25). By December 2010 Brazil had a fleet of 12 million flex-fuel automobiles and light trucks and over 500 thousand flex-fuel motorcycles regularly using neat ethanol fuel (known as E100). Bioethanol is a form of renewable energy that can be produced from agricultural feedstocks. It can be made from very common crops such as sugar cane, potato, manioc and corn. There has been considerable debate about how useful bioethanol will be in replacing gasoline. Concerns about its production and use relate to increased food prices due to the large amount of arable land required for crops, as well as the energy and pollution balance of the whole cycle of ethanol production, especially from corn. Recent developments with cellulosic ethanol production and commercialization may allay some of these concerns. Cellulosic ethanol offers promise because cellulose fibers, a major and universal component in plant cells walls, can be used to produce ethanol. According to the International Energy Agency, cellulosic ethanol could allow ethanol fuels to play a much bigger role in the future than previously thought. From Wikipedia under the

I know that ethanol is less efficient than gas, therefore you have to fill up more often and get less mpg. So my question is, is there some type of formula to tell if it is indeed cheaper to use E85 as opposed to gas by their current price gap? Asked by Scotty R - Mon Jun 30 12:09:52 2008 - Commuting - 2 Answers - Comments A. The typical decrease in mileage when using E-85 is 27%. To calculate your mileage on E-85 take your current mileage and multiply by .27. The number you get from that you will then subtract from your current mpg. Example: 15mpg (gas)X0.27= 4.05 15-4.05= 11.95mpg (E-85) Now get the prices for both gas and E-85. Choose a distance for instance how many miles you drive a week. Divide that by your mpg, you'll need to do it twice once with gas mpg and once with E-85 mpg. This will tell you how many gallons you will use for that distance Example: Distance: 300 miles Gas mpg: 15mpg 300 miles/15mpg= 20 gallons of gas Distance: 300 miiles E-85 mpg: 11.95mpg 300 miles/11.95mpg= 25 gal (rounded) of E-85 After you figure out how many gallons you will… [cont.] Answered by Amanda F - Mon Jun 30 13:00:11 2008 Why isn"t corn stover being shipped to ethyl refineries for generation of heat to for use in distilling?
Q. Stover will eventually be shipped for cellulosic. Why not front load any new handling or shipping equipment costs. Stover not added back to the soil could be sent to the refineries as fuel. Its value as a fuel might compare favorably with gas for close in farmers. The stover would burn clean, certainly the cobs, and would probably merit EPA approval, since it is carbon neutral and would not add any additional CO2 to the environment. It would improve the "energy returned for energy invested" for corn based ethanol which lags behind other feedstocks. Asked by Dick - Thu Apr 26 16:42:08 2007 - Alternative Fuel Vehicles - 2 Answers - Comments A. there is debate about this at the moment. However, there are ethical issues about using food crops for fuel with half of the world population living in poverty. Also, distillation is a process that requires a lot of energy. You are true that burning it would be carbon neutral, but the actual break down to be used as a fuel needs a lot of energy which doesnot make the process co2 neutral.
