Ethanol Touted as Innovative Solution to Today's Rising Gas Prices

Copyright 2006 Stephen Pierce

Bio Clean Fuel As gas prices continue to surge higher and higher and concern over our country's reliance on foreign oil grows more serious by the day, many experts are pointing to ethanol as a quick and easy solution to the current energy crisis.

Npower, the third largest energy supplier in the UK, today announced that they will follow in the footsteps of British Gas and increase gas and electricity prices for the second time this year. The cost of electricity will rise by an average 6.1%, and gas prices by an average 12.6%. The price rises, effective from the 1st October, will affect both new and existing customers. For the average customer this means energy bills will rise by â42 for gas, and â23 for electricity.

Earth Bio Fuel What is ethanol? Ethanol is a clean-burning, high-octane fuel made from plants, often corn, that many claim will be safer for the environment as well as reduce our reliance on oil from the Middle East.

The EDF Energy group, who own London Energy, Seeboard Energy and SWEB Energy, have announced the cost of their domestic gas will rise by approximately 15.9% (â60) and electricity by 10.8% (â30). The price rises will come into effect from 5th August 2005 and will be applied to both new and existing customers. The Online plans are unaffected by this price rise, and tariffs for the Capped price plans are protected until March 2007.

The earlier comment about bio fuels being an issue is correct. We are seeing it now that the price of corn has gone up dramatically..why. Ethanol production and the fact that those producing will pay higher price for corn than feedstock owners will. Guess what. your food prices will eventually skyrocket.! cattle, pork, chickens etc.

Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste While ethanol first gained minor notoriety as a "fad fuel" that was introduced in the 1970s but never really caught on, the ethanol industry has made numerous innovations and improvements to the ethanol production process as well as the final product over the years and now expects to produce over 5 billion gallons of ethanol this year alone.

The price rise will be effective from 1st April 2006 for all customers except those with the "Gas Guardian" plan. npower's online plan is also not affected by the price rise. The price rise follows a recent spate of price rises including EDF Energy, British Gas, ScottishPower and Powergen, whose prices rise in March. uSwitch.com has updated the prices for npower plans in our gas and electricity comparison and switching service.

Make Bio Fuel Of the ethanol that is produced, much is used to boost the octane rating of gasoline. Premium gasoline is made by adding ethanol to the gasoline mixture. The two most common blends are:

British Gas announced today it will be raising its prices for the second time in six months. Gas prices will rise by 22% and electricity by 22%. The price rises will come into effect from 1st March 2006. British Gas cited the price rises were necessary against a "backdrop of unprecedented increases in the wholesale cost of energy". Customers who have already signed up to British Gas' Price Protection 2007 and 2010, will not be affected by these price increases.

Bio Fuel Jb100 Jet Properties 1. E10 - 10% ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline. E10 is approved for use in any make or model of vehicle sold in the U.S. Many automakers recommend its use because of its high performance, clean-burning characteristics. In 2004, about one-third of America's gasoline was blended with ethanol, most in this 10% variety.

Fuel Cell Bio 2. E85 - 85% ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. E85 is an alternative fuel for use in flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs). There are currently more than 4 million FFVs on America's roads today, and automakers are rolling out more each year.

Bio Conversion Fuel Adding ethanol to gasoline is beneficial because it not only decreases the fuel's cost, increases the fuel's octane rating and decreases gasoline's harmful emissions but it also, according to a recent study, lets drivers travel farther for less money.

Green Energy At current market prices, $20 worth of ethanol-blended fuel allows a vehicle to travel up to 15 miles farther than on gas without ethanol, according to a pilot study conducted by the American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE), a national trade association for the ethanol industry headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. "On a twenty dollar bill, drivers who choose ethanol-blended fuel will travel miles farther on less money than those burning straight gasoline," Ron Lamberty, Vice President of Market Development for ACE said in a press release about the study. "Not only is ethanol's cost-per-mile lower than regular gasoline, the blending economics of ethanol translate to lower prices at the pump for consumers."

Bio Ethanol Fuel Prices for E10 around the Midwest are as much as 10 cents less per gallon than regular unleaded, the ACE press release indicated. A recent Consumer Federation of America study shows that blending low-cost ethanol with high-priced gasoline can bring down prices at the pump by up to 8 cents per gallon.

Bio Clean Fuel The Next Step .

Earth Bio Fuel With results like those mentioned above and with new innovations continuing to be rapidly introduced in the ethanol production process, it's little wonder that many fuel experts are now beginning to talk about shifting from ethanol as a fuel additive to ethanol as a replacement for petroleum-based fuel.

Bio Flight Fuel Green Jb100 According to these experts, such a switch could allow us to break free from our addiction to foreign oil, could slash gas prices at the pump, could strengthen our national security, could produce jobs to rural America instead of the Middle East - all while protecting our environment.

Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste To see an example of the benefits of increased reliance on ethanol, Americans have to look no further than nearby neighbor Brazil, which has been committed to using ethanol for 30 years.

Make Bio Fuel In Brazil, cars can run on gas or ethanol thanks to "flex-fuel cars." Drivers can simply choose between the two types of fuel or a mixture of both each time they pull up to the pump.

Bio Fuel Jb100 Jet Properties How far is America away from offering drivers here this same luxury? Many of the flex-fuel cars that triggered the ethanol boom in Brazil were made by GM and Ford and cars with the same technology were first introduced here in the U.S. three years ago. In fact, already three of every four new cars sold in the U.S. have the flex-fuel technology.

Fuel Cell Bio Maybe that's why in a recent speech, President Bush felt compelled to say, "Ethanol will replace gasoline consumption. Ethanol is good for the whole country."
