What makes biodiesel more sustainable than ethanol?
Soybeans are better for the soil than corn.
Are diesel automobiles more fuel efficient than ethanol gasoline automobiles?
yes
Does ethanol fuel decrease fuel economy?
Here's the thing: Ethanol has less energy per gallon than gasoline and diesel, so for a given power output an engine will use more ethanol than it would have used diesel or gasoline. Miles per gallon will be poorer. But that's not the whole story. Ethanol - being considered more eco-friendly - is often a lot less expensive than diesel and gasoline. So even if you're using more of it, the cost-per-mile can be lower than for gasoline or diesel.
Does shell put ethanol in diesel fuel?
No. That's why diesel fuel now costs more than gasoline. No, but in some areas (central Illinois for example) diesel contains a mixture of diesel and soybean based biodiesel there is no ethanol in diesel and that has nothing at all to do with the price of diesel the price of diesel is straight out supply and demand ,more diesel vehicles on the road so put the price up; the only bio diesel fuel is private enterprise. most biodiesel is made by private individuals and companies that use old cooking oils ,refine it and add it to the diesel it costs about 5000 thousand dollars to set this up and anyone can do it if they got access to old cooking oils
What pollutes more diesel fuel or ethanol fuel?
Diesel fuel emitts much higher emissions. It emitts high smog and particualte matter. That'll be diesal fuel darling. Madgenta
What 5 substances can be classified as liquid and flammable?
There are far more than five. Ethanol, methanol, 2-propanol, pentane, and hexane are five extremely common examples.
What is the difference between ethanol and bioethanol?
Ethanol is a type of alcohol that can be produced from various feedstocks, such as corn or sugarcane. Bioethanol specifically refers to ethanol produced from renewable biomass sources, such as crops, agricultural waste, or algae. Bioethanol is considered more sustainable and environmentally friendly compared to ethanol derived from fossil fuels.
Can alchol fuel cars?
In theory yes but there's very little point in it as you can either get ethanol from crude oil through distilling and cracking through which you can also get diesel and petrol from. You can also make ethanol out of vegetables but again you can also make diesel. The main use of ethanol in running cars I would say is bio-petrol which is just a mixture of petrol and ethanol. All this achieves is less petrol being used. But yes, you can fuel your car on it after modifications but it's more commonly used as an additive to petrol.
Is Ethanol more soluble in air or Nitrogen?
All gases are freely miscible, so the question makes no sense.
Why is ethanol often sold in denatured form?
Denatured ethanol is grain ethanol that has had chemical additives added to it to make it unfit to ingest. Pure grain ethanol forms the basis for all alcoholic beverages and as such is highly taxed and regulated. Since ethanol has many more uses other than to drink it, denatured ehtanol was created to ensure ethanol destined for anything other than consumption was kept as such. The chemicals added make the alcohol terribly bitter and poisonous, so don't drink it! It is the same effect as why diesel fuel is sometimes dyed red-red diesel is much cheaper than regular diesel because it is given a tax exemption for off-road use only. If a trucker fills his rig up with cheaper red diesel fuel and gets inspected by the authorities, it will show up and the trucker will have to pay a whole lot of money in fines and penalties.
Why is ethanol considered a green fuel?
Ethanol is considered a green fuel because it is produced from renewable resources such as crops like corn or sugarcane. It also produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional fossil fuels when burned, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative. Additionally, ethanol can help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.
Why do scientists think it is necessary to develop new ways to create ethanol?
Scientists believe it is necessary to develop new ways to create ethanol to increase its efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and minimize competition with food resources. By exploring alternative sources and production methods, scientists aim to make ethanol production more sustainable and cost-effective.
