Closed Subsidise manufacture and sale of renewable fuels, eg. E85 (Bio ethanol)

Closed on

The Government should support businesses to produce renewable fuels, like E85 in the UK, and subsidise it so it can be sold at a cost lower then petrol. This can be done via tax incentives or grants.

As the Governments moves to replace Diesel cars with petrol and electric car, more effort should also be given towards renewable fuels. Bio ethanol can be produced by food waste products and improve vehicle emissions, solving two problems at once. Many vehicles can be upgraded to run E85 and bio ethanol.

This would be a good step forwards in reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. There has been great success with this all over the world.
