Ethanol Has a Number of Distinct Advantages for America

The advantages of ethanol are proven and the industry is poised for tremendous growth.

There are a number of benefits to using ethanol in our nation's fuel supply:

• Improved air quality Ethanol increases the oxygen content of fuel-leading to more complete combustion, reduced tailpipe emissions and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
• Clean power Ethanol increases the octane rating of fuel-providing enhanced performance while reducing the level of toxins in gasoline.
• Reduced use of imported oil Ethanol is made from renewable sources produced in the U.S.-reducing our reliance on imported oil and extending our nation's fuel supply.
• Environmental benefits In addition to its clean air benefits, ethanol does not pollute ground water.
• Net energy winner Ethanol production results in a net energy gain-resulting in 67 percent more energy than it takes to produce it.
