Closed petition Bring high percentage ethanol fuel to the UK

Closed on

Follow the lead of European countries including Finland, France and Sweden, also America, Brazil and Australia, incentivise renewable ethanol biofuel to be made available at the fuel pump for the masses.

Ethanol in fuels produce less carbon monoxide due to its more complete combustion and higher oxygen content. Incomplete combustion also creates hydrocarbons. Ethanol also produces less nitrogen oxide emissions which have a huge impact on the environment and humans. Ethanol creates less fine particulate matter which caused an estimated 200,000 premature deaths in 2014. Most engines can convert ethanols energy better and run better. While fuel consumption does go up energy efficiency also goes up.
