  2. Ethanol fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fuel

    Ethanol fuel has a "gasoline gallon equivalency" (GGE) value of 1.5, i.e. to replace the energy of 1 volume of gasoline, 1.5 times the volume of ethanol is needed. [4] [5] Ethanol-blended fuel is widely used in Brazil, the United States, Canada, and Europe (see also Ethanol fuel by country). [2]

  3. Ethanol fuel energy balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fuel_energy_balance

    the quality of the resulting ethanol compared to the quality of refined gasoline; the energy indirectly consumed (in order to make the ethanol processing plant, etc.). Much of the current academic discussion regarding ethanol currently revolves around issues of system borders. This refers to how complete a picture is drawn for energy inputs.

  4. Renewable fuels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_fuels

    Renewable fuels are fuels produced from renewable resources. Examples include: biofuels (e.g. Vegetable oil used as fuel, ethanol, methanol from clean energy and carbon dioxide [1] or biomass, and biodiesel), Hydrogen fuel (when produced with renewable processes), and fully synthetic fuel (also known as electrofuel) produced from ambient carbon dioxide and water.

  5. Corn ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_ethanol

    Corn ethanol is ethanol produced from corn biomass and is the main source of ethanol fuel in the United States, mandated to be blended with gasoline in the Renewable Fuel Standard. Corn ethanol is produced by ethanol fermentation and distillation .

  6. Carbon-neutral fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-neutral_fuel

    Larger hydrocarbons [17] and ethanol [18] can also be produced from carbon dioxide and hydrogen. All synthetic hydrocarbons are generally produced at temperatures of 200–300 °C, and at pressures of 20 to 50 bar. Catalysts are usually used to improve the efficiency of the reaction and create the desired type of hydrocarbon fuel. Such ...
