But did you know that scientifically Sugarcane is a leading renewable fuel with outstanding benefits?
Sugarcane ethanol is an alcohol-based fuel produced by the fermentation of sugarcane juice and molasses. Ethanol is added to gasoline to produce "biofuel".
Benefits of Ethanol
- Cleaner Air / Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions Ethanol adds oxygen to gasoline/ reduces air pollution and harmful emissions by 90% on average. That's better than any other liquid biofuel produced today on a commercial scale.
- Better Performance high octane fuel, helps prevent engine knocking, generates more power i higher compression engines
- Lower Petroleum Usage reduces global dependence on oil
So there you have it ... when you drive to the donut shop using ethanol you are not only using a beneficial renewable energy resource you are using the same source of power (sugarcane) to refuel your body's energy too!
