Produkce bioethanolu z odpadnich latek

As Indy-cars and automobile manufacturers rush to develop vehicles that use bioethanol as a part of their fuel mixture, it is interesting to reflect how far we have gone on the ‘bio-fuel highway’ and where are we going next. Although Henry Ford is well known for his Ford Model-T and his contribution to the industrial revolution, it is often over-looked that he was a visionary of how biofuels would propel these technologies. It was his vision that ethanol was the “fuel of the future” and in his time was available from several mid-western service stations. Nonetheless, the availability of low-cost, enhanced performance petroleum fuels quickly displaced these first generation bioethanol service stations.

Bioethanol se rovněž používá jako aditivum do většiny automobilových benzínů.
