Ethanol Use, Benefits and Production Steve ten Doeschate Plant Manager Kawartha Ethanol

What is Ethanol Ethanol is a renewable, clean-burning, high octane motor fuel.  This liquid alcohol is made up of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon and is obtained from the fermentation of sugar or converted starch contained in grains and other agricultural or agri-forest feedstocks.  

Environmental Benefits Ethanol cuts emissions from our cars. Ethanol reduces tailpipe carbon monoxide emissions by as much as 30%, toxic content by 13% (mass) and 21% (potency) and tailpipe fine particulate matter emissions by 50%. Ethanol lowers GHG’s by up to 62% The 5% RFS alone will generate 4.2Mts fewer emissions – or the equivalent of removing one million cars from our nation’s highways. Ethanol replaces carcinogens in your fuel. Ethanol actually cuts down cancer-causing emissions such as benzene from our fuel. Ethanol is an oxygenate, a fuel additive that raises the octane level of gasoline, producing a motor fuel that burns more cleanly. For example, a study by the Colorado Division of Public Health and the Environment (DPHE) study showed E10 reduced hydrocarbon pollution like benzene by 16.5%. The most reliable third party studies show that ethanol clearly has a positive energy balance. For one example, the USDA states a value of 1.34. Ethanol cuts smog. Studies show that ethanol reduces particulate matter by up to 50%, reduces tailpipe emissions by as much as 30% and reduces toxic emissions by 30%. No harm to water. A study conducted for the Governors' Ethanol Coalition, "The Fate and Transport of Ethanol-Blended Gasoline in the Environment," concluded that ethanol poses no threat to surface water and ground water.

Ethanol Usage The RFS in Canada ensures 5% ethanol (renewable content) in gasoline began December 15, 2010 Almost 1.8 Billion litres of ethanol produced annually in Canada

Access to Higher Ethanol Blends Very limited gas stations offering blends above 10% Oct 16th Gales Gas Bars started offering E30, the first station to in the Niagara region

Cellulosic Ethanol Is ethanol made from cellulose, a non-grain material that provides the cellular structure for all plants. Cellulose is the world's most abundant organic compound.  Challenge is breaking it down to glucose
