About Ethanol

-------------

Ethanol is a renewable transportation fuel made from grains such as corn and wheat, or from the cellulose found in a wide array of plants and other biomass. Ethanol is affordable and offers unique environmental benefits. National Resources Canada's GH Genius model shows that corn ethanol reduces greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by 40 to 60 per cent compared to gasoline. Cellulosic ethanol has the potential to reduce GHGs by up to 87 per cent according to the US Department of Energy's GREET model. The federal government's commitment to requiring gasoline to contain an average of five per cent ethanol by 2010 will bring GHG reductions equivalent to removing one million cars from Canada's highways each and every year.
