There is a lot of press lately about ethanol. Let’s look closely at the real world benefits of ethanol, so we can more closely understand why this is so important to ALL Fuels & Energy Company (AFSE)
Using ethanol as an alternative to gasoline provides several key benefits. Ethanol is good for the environment Overall, ethanol is considered to be better for the environment than gasoline. Ethanol-fueled vehicles produce lower carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions, and the same or lower levels of hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen emissions.
E85, a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, also has fewer volatile components than gasoline, which means fewer emissions from evaporation.
Adding ethanol to gasoline in lower percentages, such as 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline (E10), reduces carbon monoxide emissions from the gasoline and improves fuel octane.
Ethanol is widely available and easy to use. Flexible fuel vehicles that can use E85 are widely available and come in many different styles from most major auto manufacturers.
E85 is also widely available at a growing number of stations throughout the United States. Flexible fuel vehicles have the advantage of being able to use E85, gasoline, or a combination of the two, giving drivers the flexibility to choose the fuel that is most readily available and best suited to their needs.
Ethanol is good for the economy. Ethanol production supports farmers and creates domestic jobs. And because ethanol is produced domestically, from domestically grown crops, it reduces U.S. dependence on foreign oil and increases the nation’s energy independence.
