E100 Ethanol Group Home Page
Our Mission
To bring about the use of E100, gasoline free ethanol, as a primary motor fuel in the United States using E100 engines optimized for ethanol and not gasoline.
There are 5 main reasons why it is important for the US to do this:
1. American Security - both environmental and economic
2. Climate Change caused by CO2 emissions
3. Economic and cultural costs of fluctuating gasoline prices.
4. Meet government requirements for renewable fuel by providing
large, stable market for ethanol.
5. Provide consumers a choice between oil and ethanol companies for
setting the price of motor fuel.
Definition
E100 is:
98/2 mixture of ethanol/iso-propyl alcohol* with 10 ppm DNB**
(approved as motor fuel in the US under CFR19.1005)
* Could replace the iso-propyl alcohol with ether if submitted for approval to the government's Tax and Trade Bureau
**DNB- denatonium benzoate - bitter tasting substance to denature the alcohol so it can not be ingested.
