Bioethanol

without comments

This explains why the Morrisons supermarket I stopped at in Bridgwater on Sunday had so many Bioethanol pumps:

Its an interesting option to reduce carbon emissions, although I think there a better options for cars and other land based transportation (Electricty or Hydrogen fuel cells). Where this has to make a difference is comercial airlines. Virgin’s recent announcement I posted about last week seems to be aiming to do this so I’m glad that work always flies Virgin to the US.

In a few years I would hope that I only need to offset 15% of the carbon emissions of a flight becuase the other 85% came from Bioethanol :-
