Sentences with phrase «volumes of ethanol»

The history of the RFS is that EPA's enthusiasm for the program has seen the agency mandate ever - increasing volumes of ethanol in the fuel supply, potentially putting consumers at risk by pushing fuels into the marketplace that could damage the engines of vehicles, motorcycles, boats and small power equipment.

We've been talking about flaws in the RFS for some time, and the chorus of voices has grown because requiring increasing volumes of ethanol in the nation's fuel supply could affect vehicle owners, consumers paying for fuel and food, the environment and the global food supply.

A decade ago Congress passed legislation creating the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)-- requiring escalating volumes of ethanol in the U.S. fuel supply — that was intended in part to help reduce crude oil imports while capitalizing the supposed environmental advantages of ethanol.

(The wiki values imply densities of 0.72 to 0.74 kg / L for gasoline, 0.762 for Gasohol E10 (10 % ethanol by volume); for 0.73 kg / L and a composition of 84.117 to 85 wt % C (the former calculated for octane, the later given by an encyclopedia (Britannica Macropedia entry «Chemical Elements» p. 945, sorry don't know the year, I'm looking at a photocopy) for petroleum, g CO2 / gal from combustion should be 8517 to 8606.

For three years running, cellulosic ethanol production will come in far, far short of the mandated target volumes.

Even though not a gallon of cellulosic ethanol has been manufactured in the U.S., the EPA has continued to predict fantastical production volumes: approximately 5 million gallons in 2010, 6.6 million in 2011, 8.7 million in 2012 and a whopping 14 million gallons for 2013.

fuel mixtures containing 85 percent or more by volume of methanol, denatured ethanol, and other alcohols with gasoline or other fuels

However, ethanol has one - third less energy than an equivalent volume of gasoline.

Because the supply of ethanol, ramped up by the Troika, exceeds demand, ethanol today is cheaper than gasoline by volume.

This damage is unnecessary and can be avoided by freezing the ethanol content of gasoline at 10 % by volume.

There's just one problem: Despite Washington's mandates — which fall on refiners and producers of motor fuels like ExxonMobil — cellulosic ethanol doesn't actually exist in any meaningful volumes.

The 2005 energy bill and a 2007 revamp mandated increasing volumes of cellulosic ethanol be blended into the nation's gasoline and diesel supplies each year through 2022.

Re: Joint opposition to petition from Growth Energy to increase the allowable ethanol content of gasoline to 15 volume percent.

[68] The U.S. consumed 138.2 × 109 US gal (523 × 106 m3) of gasoline in 2008, blended with about 9.6 × 109 US gal (36 × 106 m3) of ethanol, representing a market share of almost 7 % of supply by volume.

Greco said API asked EPA to set the volume requirements no higher than 9.7 percent of gasoline demand to help avoid the blend wall and to protect strong consumer demand for ethanol - free fuel.

At the time of the 2007 legislation, ethanol production stood at 0.6 MMB / D — or 6 % of the volume of gasoline.

At this level, ethanol would still replace only approximately 10 % of the volume of gasoline used, and it is questionable whether we would ever want to shift so much of our corn production to ethanol.

At this production level, corn - based ethanol would replace about 10 % of the volume (or about 7.2 % of the energy content) of the US gasoline supply.

Even with this huge share of the corn crop, US corn - based ethanol amounted to only about 3.5 % of the US gasoline supply by volume, and 2.4 % of the supply by energy contribution.

When EPA green - lighted E15 use, it knew E15 vehicle testing was ongoing but decided not to wait for the results — most likely to raise the permissible concentration level of ethanol in fuels so that greater volumes could be used, as required by the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).
