Ethanol Fuel

Renewable

Ethanol fuel is a renewable fuel made from corn and other plant materials. More than 98 percent of gasoline in the United States now contains some ethanol, with the E10 blend being the most widespread, and ethanol is also available as E85, or flex fuel, a high-level blend containing 51 to 83 percent ethanol for use in flexible fuel vehicles, while the E15 blend is gaining market presence for newer vehicles. Ethanol is also the liquid fuel fed directly into direct-ethanol fuel cells.
