There are also voter concerns of transportation funds being protected to be used just for transportation, as by previous mandates of Proposition 42 (2003) [12] and Proposition 1a (2006). [13] Even with past protections, $1.8 billion of fuel tax funds in 2010 [14] were moved to the General Fund, known as the gas tax swap. [15]
1.3 to 1.6: Ratio of the energy obtained from ethanol/energy expended in its production: Estimated greenhouse gas emission reduction [18] [22] [25] 86–90% (1) 10–30% (1) % GHGs avoided by using ethanol instead of gasoline, using existing crop land, without ILUC effects. EPA's estimated 2022 GHG reduction for RFS2. [107] 61% (2) 21%
In the US, Honda does not offer any E85 powered flexfuel vehicles in 2009. [16] GM has stated a commitment to dedicate 50% of its production to Flex-Fuel E85 capable vehicles by the 2012 model year. [17] Also by 2012 all products of British luxury car-maker Bentley Motors will be Flex-Fuel using a patented fuel-system and an in-line fuel sensor.
By 2004, California completed a transition from methyl tertiary butyl-ether (MTBE) to ethanol as a gasoline oxygenate additive, making California the largest ethanol fuel market in the United States. [citation needed] There are four ethanol production plants in central and southern California, but most of California's ethanol supply is ...
A dish of ethanol aflame. Various alcohols are used as fuel for internal combustion engines.The first four aliphatic alcohols (methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol) are of interest as fuels because they can be synthesized chemically or biologically, and they have characteristics which allow them to be used in internal combustion engines.
Climate experts are calling it a ‘very important step’ on the road to buildings powered by clean energy
In Brazil, ethanol fuel is neat at the pumps, hence flexible-fuel vehicles (FFV) including trucks, tractors, motorbikes and mopeds run on E100. The 85% fraction is commonly sold at pumps worldwide (outside the US), and when specifically supplied or sold as E85 is always 85% ethanol (at pumps or in barrel).
Leaders of the Energy Commission say the new building standards will help the state reach building decarbonization goals.
