Moses Lake has also attracted some alternative fuel companies, such as Washington Ethanol & Washington Biodiesel.

Ethanol has a smaller energy density than does gasoline ; this fact means that it takes more fuel ( volume and mass ) to produce the same amount of work.

Ethanol has the advantage of being an excellent solvent for both acidic and basic ( alkaline ) constituents. Glycerine can also be used, but is generally a poorer solvent.

Ethanol has a tendency to denature some organic compounds, rendering them so changed as to be ineffective.

Ethanol has been advertised as a safe alternative by the agricultural and other interest groups in the USA and Europe.

Today, Collingwood's industrial base, which includes Collingwood Ethanol L. P., Pilkington Glass of Canada, Goodall Rubber Company-Canada ULC, and VOAC Inc, and which are among the community ’ s largest employers, has begun to erode.

Ethanol fuel has a " gasoline gallon equivalency " ( GGE ) value of, which means 1. 5 gallons of ethanol produce the energy of one gallon of gasoline.

Ethanol can be produced from a variety of feedstocks such as sugar cane, bagasse, miscanthus, sugar beet, sorghum, grain, switchgrass, barley, hemp, kenaf, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava, sunflower, fruit, molasses, corn, stover, grain, wheat, straw, cotton, other biomass, as well as many types of cellulose waste and harvestings, whichever has the best well-to-wheel assessment.

Danisco also has two biochemical projects: DuPont Danisco Cellulosic Ethanol LLC, a biofuels joint venture with DuPont, and a project with Goodyear to develop a new type of synthetic rubber, called bioIsoprene.

( Corn -) Ethanol yield has already improved from 2. 4 gallons per bushel in the 1980s to 2. 8 gallons in modern plants.

Since 1981 the Minnedosa Ethanol Plant has been producing ethanol to be blended into gasoline, as of late 2007 it has been expanded into one of the largest ethanol facilities in Canada.

A new sugar cane plantation has been planted nearby by Maple Ethanol for ethanol production.

Ethanol and methanol can take significantly higher compression ratios than gasoline.

Ethanol, methanol, liquefied petroleum gas ( LPG ) and compressed natural gas ( CNG ) allow higher boost than gasoline, because of their higher resistance to autoignition ( lower tendency to knock ).

This new technology allows the flex engine to get the high torques at lower revs, the engines produce higher torques and horsepower on Ethanol fuel.

Ethanol ( E100 ) consumption in an engine is approximately 51 % higher than for gasoline since the energy per unit volume of ethanol is 34 % lower than for gasoline.

Ethanol can be used as a fuel for vehicles in its pure form, but it is usually used as a gasoline additive to increase octane and improve vehicle emissions.

Ethanol ’ s true octane value should be used to calculate E85 ’ s octane value.

Examples of this mis-citation can be found at the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association titled " E85 Facts " which cites a range of 100-105, and a document at the Texas State Energy Conservation Office titled " Ethanol ", which cites a 113 rating.

Ethanol BTUs can be compared with gasoline BTUs in Heat of combustion tables.

Ethanol, natural gas, hydrogen, and other existing fuels offer similar fire-safety challenges, and standard safety and firefighting protocols exist for all such fuels.

" Ethanol is currently ( as of 2007 ) priced at 3 to 4 dollars per gallon at the pump, while methanol made from natural gas remains at 47 cents per gallon in bulk, not at the pump.

Ethanol, produced by fermentation and distillation, is more expensive than methanol, which is derived from natural gas.

Ethanol, methanol and natural gas CNG were the three alternative fuels that received more attention for research and development, and government support.

Ethanol, an alcohol fuel, is an important fuel for the operation of internal combustion engines that are used in cars, trucks, and other kinds of machinery.

Ethanol is produced as a by-product of this process but studies have shown that other unique chemical reactions take place that have a distinctive effect on the wine.

Construction on the complex could begin as early as Summer ' 07 if U. S. Ethanol receives the necessary permits.

He also chaired the Governor ’ s Ethanol Coalition and represented fellow Governors on the National Medicaid Reform Task Force.

The USAC ’ s long history as on open-wheel sanctioning body continues today with the Silver Crown Series, National Sprint Car Series, National Midget Series, Ignite Ethanol Fuel Series,. 25 Midget Series, and Traxxas TORC Series.

The LZE 3500 was an OHV flexible fuel engine based on the 3. 9 L LZ9 V6 ( it can use either plain gasoline or 85 % Gasoline and 15 % Ethanol, E85 ) and includes continuously variable cam timing ( fixed overlap ).

It was also available to run on Ethanol, which usually generates at least 10 % more power than a corresponding petrol model, with a circa 25 % increase to fuel consumption.

The G20 was also able to run on low-octane fuel or even Ethanol.

Special modified 1ZZ-FE that can run on E85 Ethanol.

Details on this can be found in the Ethanol fuel energy balance article.

Experiments on individuals suffering from this condition did not find any actual increase in Breath Ethanol.

The engine was capable of running on gasoline or Ethanol fuel | ethanol, or a mix of both.

Ethanol FFVs can run on pure gasoline, pure ethanol ( E100 ) or any combination of both.

“ We have made a significant investment in E85 Ethanol by using the technology on one of our most popular engines ,” said Gary Malkus, plant manager, GM Janesville Assembly.
