The Need for Cellulosic Ethanol
Petroleum and coal solutions produce significant quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) that makes global weather more violent and pollution that assaults our bodies with unhealthy chemicals leading to an alarming growth of diseases including asthma and cancer. Our economy and our livelihoods are based on toxic petroleum energy. Ethanol is an oxygenate that produces a more complete combustion of gasoline and reduces tailpipe emissions of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. Additionally, by using biomass that was created through the absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere, Ethanol is virtually carbon neutral. The more our population grows, the more waste that is produced and the more ethanol that can be created.
