Which provinces use ethanol gasoline?
1 Answers
Provinces using ethanol gasoline include the three northeastern provinces, Henan, Anhui, Hebei, some cities in Hubei, northern Jiangsu, and southwestern Shandong. Ethanol gasoline is a new alternative energy source formed by blending fuel ethanol processed from grains and various plant fibers with regular gasoline in a certain proportion. According to national standards, ethanol gasoline is a blend of 90% regular gasoline and 10% fuel ethanol. Ethanol gasoline is a mixture rather than a new chemical compound. Adding an appropriate amount of ethanol to gasoline as a vehicle fuel can save petroleum resources, reduce air pollution from vehicle emissions, and also promote agricultural production.
