I didn't read the article. Some people that did claimed that studies were cherry picked to reach the desired conclusion and most corn is no-till and the conclusion relies on tilling to tip the balance.But what about the subsidies to the corn farmers ???
U.S. corn-based ethanol worse for climate than gas: study
Department of Energy-funded research suggests the biofuel is at least 24 per cent more carbon-intensive
It's got its pros and cons like any other type of fuel that can be used in a internal combustion engine.
I was riding through corn country USA in 2008 and listening to the local news. Ethanol producers wanted subsidies because corn prices had gone so high. Corn prices went high because corn was being bought in megatons by the ethanol producers.
100% of researchers studies agree with the people funding them...
Ethanol is bad news....and less energy dense than gas. A litre of ethanol won't take you as far as a litre of gas. People wonder why they have ******** mileage than they expect with ethanol blends."The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which administers the nation’s biofuel policy, is considering changes to the program." Here's to hoping for ethanol-free 87 octane again, or at least a stop to potentially mandating ethanol in 91 octane.
3% worse with 10% ethanol - how's that workin' out for you ?
These are feelings not facts, but I feel like you could find it in a couple of specific places when GM was still selling "Flex Fuel" vehicles. I think it's all dried up now though
You can buy drums of it in the GTA. Not sure how many stations have pumps (probably few to none in the province). E85 can make big hp gains if you have the fuel capacity (pumps and injectors) and tune for it. In the ballpark of 20% above 93.
