By 2022, given current trends, the GHG profile of corn-based ethanol is expected to be almost 50 percent lower than gasoline primarily due to improvements in corn yields, process fuel switching, and transportation efficiency. (usda.gov)
In a scenario where these improvements and practices are universally adopted, the GHG benefits of corn ethanol are even more pronounced over gasoline, about a 76 percent reduction. (usda.gov)
The real metric is, low 87 octane, low compression ratio gasoline engines, show that E10 (only 10% ethanol added to gasoline) loses 8%, 8%, 7-8%, 7% & 5% mpg, compared to E0. (cleanmpg.com)
years ago, grassroots pure-gas.org listed only 2000 E0 sources in the U.S, & Canada, & the fed gov't, state gov'ts, & 'ethanol in gasoline industry' was trying to squash that number. (cleanmpg.com)
Meanwhile, E85 sources, pushed by gov't & 'ethanol in gasoline industry' in the U.S. (very few in Canada? (cleanmpg.com)
Despite gov't & 'ethanol in gasoline industry' pushing ethanol in gasoline, by far E0 provides the best efficiency in 87 octane gasoline engines, which are the standard engines of america. (cleanmpg.com)

Although greater use of ethanol is mandated by federal law, the industry is suffering from over capacity, and struggling to compete in an environment of falling gasoline prices. (pacificresearch.org)
Federal mandates requiring so-called obligated parties, i.e., refiners, blenders, and importers, to use larger volumes of ethanol in the gasoline pool over the next few years will help the ethanol industry recover, this recovery will come at a cost, largely reflected in rising prices of gasoline and middle distillates. (pacificresearch.org)
However, the cost of blending even larger volumes of ethanol into the gasoline pool, beyond oxygenate levels, as required by law, is likely to escalate markedly in the coming years, particularly as ethanol exceeds 10 percent of the gasoline pool. (pacificresearch.org)
Accommodating increasing volumes of ethanol into the gasoline pool will likely require substantial increases in the price of E-10 and diesel fuels as refiners and marketers face the higher costs of meeting the mandate. (pacificresearch.org)

An ethanol plants impact on jobs goes far beyond the facility itself. (ethanolrfa.org)

Some even argue that it takes more energy to produce ethanol from corn than you get out of it, but most agricultural economists think that's a stretch. (tdiclub.com)

Supporters say the current system understates the positive environmental impact of ethanol and other plant-based fuels. (farmprogress.com)

Rather the breath sample first passes through the infra-red portion of the device, which monitors the ethanol content at 3.45 microns and carbon dioxide at 4.26 microns. (ncdd.com)
The claim that the emissions are less toxic than ethanol may be misleading as the term "toxic" does not necessarily mean lower carbon emissions, but the move is certainly a step toward a more sustainable and economically intelligent military. (unexplainable.net)
There are debates about the environmental friendliness of producing this type of energy, but many countries have relied on it in the fight against carbon dioxide emissions. (darwinsmoney.com)

Our technique of injecting ethanol into trees successfully induced attacks by ambrosia beetles to allow field-testing insecticides to control the beetles in all locations. (usda.gov)
Ethanol-injection of trees was used to induce colonization by ambrosia beetles to evaluate insecticides and botanical formulations for preventing attacks by ambrosia beetles. (usda.gov)
Experimental trees injected with ethanol had more attacks by ambrosia beetles than un-injected control trees in all but one experiment. (usda.gov)
Ethanol-injection induced sufficient pressure from ambrosia beetles to evaluate the efficacy of insecticides for preventing attacks. (usda.gov)
On a down note ethanol also attacks unprotected aluminum and pot metal. (motortrend.com)

So far, the process used to convert ethanol to hydrogen, steam reforming, is slower and takes up more space than the method Deluga proposed, which is called partial oxidation, said Australian chemical engineer Professor David Trimm from Sydney's University of New South Wales . (abc.net.au)

Robert F. Brands is right to question Big Oil's motives, but he doesn't consider the facts when he slams American ethanol in The Ethanol Myth and Innovation Gone Amok (March 8, 2011)," said Growth Energy CEO Tom Buis. (growthenergy.org)

Breath testing relies on infrared spectrometry which measures wavelengths produced by ethanol. (paduiblog.com)
When this happens, the produces a substance called isopropanol which the breath machines measure as being ethanol. (paduiblog.com)

In experimental groups, ethanol was applied for 20 s and gently air-dried for 5 s. (bvsalud.org)

Instead, Mr. Brands relies on old myths and outdated information - all of which have been disproven, discredited and dismissed by bodies ranging from the federal government to the World Bank to the market itself. (growthenergy.org)
