Ethanol Mother Nature is all about ethanol. The 14.7 billion gallons of ethanol produced in 2015 reduced greenhouse gas emissions by a whopping 41.2 million metric tons. That’s like removing 8.4 million cars from the road. Plus, ethanol production requires less water than gasoline, by a three to one margin.

Ethanol fuel in the United States Ethanol blend fuels for gas powered engines have been around for over 100 years; Ethanol is now found at most public gas stations nationwide, due to mandates/laws and recommendations in the Alternative Motor Fuels Act (1988), Clean Air Act (1990), Energy Policy Act (2005) and most importantly - The Renewable Fuel Standard Program (RFS) - Signed ...

Ethanol Ethanol is a renewable, domestically produced alcohol fuel made from plant material, such as corn, sugar cane, or grasses. Using ethanol can reduce oil dependence and greenhouse gas emissions. Ethanol fuel use in the U.S. has increased dramatically from about 1.7 billion gallons in 2001 to about 13.2 billion in 2013.ince ethanol contains about two-thirds as much energy as gasoline, vehicles will typically go 3% to 4% fewer miles per gallon on E10 and 4% to 5% fewer on E15 than on 100% gasoline.

Ethanol Hydrous ethanol (about 95% ethanol and 5% water) can be used as fuel in more than 90% of new gasoline-engined cars sold in the country. Brazilian ethanol is produced from sugar cane and noted for high carbon sequestration. The US uses Gasohol (max 10% ethanol) and E85 (85% ethanol) ethanol/gasoline mixtures.ixtures of ethanol and water form an azeotrope at about 89 mole-% ethanol and 11 mole-% water or a mixture of 95.6 percent ethanol by mass (or about 97% alcohol by volume) at normal pressure, which boils at 351K (78 °C).

The Truth about Ethanol The largest sources of ethanol are corn kernels in the United States and sugarcane in Brazil, though an increasing amount of advanced ethanol is made from non-food sources such as tree trimmings, agricultural residues like wheat straw, and fast growing grasses.

- Good for the Economy. Iowa leads the nation in ethanol production, with 47 percent (1.3 billion bushels) of the corn grown in Iowa going to create nearly 30 percent of all American ethanol. The renewable fuels industry (including biodiesel) supports around 43,000 jobs in Iowa and accounts for $4.6 billion of Iowa’s GDP.

Ethanol Fuel Basics Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from various plant materials collectively known as  biomass .. More than 95% of U.S. gasoline contains ethanol, typically E10 (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline), to oxygenate the fuel and reduce air pollution.Ethanol is also available as E85, or high-level ethanol blends. Ethanol is produced from feedstocks at a production facility and then transported to a blender/fuel supplier. 2  Ethanol is mixed with gasoline by the blender/fuel supplier to make E10, E15 or E85, and distributed to fueling stations.

Largest Corn Waste-To-Ethanol Plant Opens In Iowa Project Liberty is a $250 million joint venture between a Netherlands biotechnology company and POET, a Sioux Falls, SD-based ethanol maker. It’s expected to make 25 million gallons of ethanol a year from corn cobs, stalks, leaves and other plant residue left on fields as waste. The king of the Netherlands was among the national and international officials who gathered for the opening ceremony Wednesday in Emmetsburg, IA.

American Fuels Current U.S. fuel ethanol production capacity exceeds ten billion gallons per year; in contrast, Americans consume 140 billion gallons of gasoline per year. Fuel ethanol produced in the United States today is made primarily from corn starch by the process of fermentation and alcohol distillation.

- Our ethanol plants produce ethanol that can be shipped by rail or truck to customers along with E-85 that is automatically blended to ensure consistency and quality. We also produce Corn Oil for industrial, feed, biodiesel and renewable diesel applications. Our plants in Michigan and Ohio have a supply agreement with a major liquified CO² and dry ice provider that turns the CO² into liquid CO² for beverages as well as dry ice for food (frozen food, catering, etc.) and cleaning (ice blasting) applications.

Homeland Energy Solutions begins production According to the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, Homeland's facility is the 39th ethanol production facility to be located in the state. Four more facilities are currently under construction. It's been a difficult time for the ethanol industry, but Homeland Energy Solutions is proof that we are working through it and finding ways to succeed, IRFA executive director Monte Shaw said. Homeland Energy Solutions is a welcome addition to Iowa's growing industry. Homeland will utilize 37 million bushels of corn annually and will employ approximately 45 people.

- Most of the gasoline now sold in the United States contains some ethanol, but the exact amount varies by region. In general, the ethanol content of motor gasoline does not exceed 10% by volume. Gasoline with 10% ethanol content is referred to as E10, and gasoline with 15% ethanol content is called E15. E85 is a fuel that averages 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. Most of the motor gasoline with more than 10% ethanol is sold in the Midwest. All gasoline vehicles can use E10.
