Biofuel obtained from the fermentation of sugarcane helps reduce pollutants in the atmosphere.
It is a renewable energy that cleans and helps minimize the impact on air pollution, helping to prevent and protect against serious respiratory diseases caused by the emission of pollutants such as sulfur, which is present in the formulation of diesel and gasoline, and is the main cause of acid rain and respiratory diseases.
In an attempt to reduce the use of oil, ethanol has proven to be an efficient, clean (it emits fewer polluting gases) and cheap option.
Ethanol is a biofuel made primarily through the fermentation of carbohydrates found in sugarcane, corn, and other biomass. In Brazil, most ethanol comes from sugarcane.
Ethanol is considered more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels, as its combustion results in lower greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, because it is of plant origin, it is a renewable resource.
In Brazil, many vehicles are flex-fuel, meaning they can run on either ethanol or gasoline. However, vehicles that are not built to be flex-fuel may require modifications to use ethanol efficiently.
Ethanol generally produces less energy per liter compared to gasoline, which can result in a reduction in vehicle range. However, it can provide cleaner combustion and increase the octane rating of the fuel.
Ethanol absorbs water from the environment, so it is important to store it in well-sealed tanks and in conditions that minimize exposure to air, to avoid contamination and degradation of quality.
Hydrated ethanol contains about 4% water and is used directly in flex-fuel vehicles or exclusively in ethanol-powered vehicles. Anhydrous ethanol is mixed with gasoline, usually at a ratio of about 27%, to form the type C gasoline sold in Brazil.
The savings depend on several factors, including the price of ethanol compared to gasoline and the difference in energy efficiency between them. It is important to calculate based on local prices and the specific consumption of the vehicle.
Ethanol can be more corrosive than gasoline, so flex-fuel vehicles and fuel system components are designed to withstand these effects. It is essential to use good quality ethanol to avoid problems.
