Sweden makes it - ethanol as alternative fuel
In Sweden established to ethanol vehicles now available on German roads. The bio fuel from starch or sugar not only helps save fossil resources, but also CO2 savings. In order to combine interests and the industry to inform the Agency is looking for Renewable Resources Association (FNR) now fleet operators who are willing to environmentally friendly technology to invest … The fuel E 85, to 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent from petrol, is in Sweden for years. This makes it a bio fuel alternative to bio diesel. In Germany have some production facilities became operational, so that the fuel supply in any case is secured. The use of bio-ethanol vehicles can be profitable. The vehicles are not more expensive than conventional cars and the fuel price benefits by 2009 from the current tax exemption for bio fuels. The vehicles are capable of petrol and ethanol in various mixtures to drive called FFV (Flexible Fuel Vehicles). E85 contains slightly less energy than gasoline, but is also cheaper. With a range of about 500 kilometers FFV can also easily keep pace with conventional petrol. The fact that in Germany do not have a nationwide network of filling stations exist, for the meantime not a serious problem: The FFV runs smoothly even with gasoline. For those fleet operators, in each case to calculate whether the use of ethanol in their fleet profitable. What concerns the petrol station, the cooperation with interested companies in the neighborhood of sense. The vehicles must in any case be bought new, because without the fuel sensor for the optimal combustion does the use of larger ethanol shares. Fleet operators, based on this technology transfer, are invited to their interest in the Agency of Renewable Resources Association (FNR) to express www.fnr.de / ffv.
