Ethanol - important element to decarbonize the transport sector

Domestic renewable raw materials

High-quality fuel which can be used in petrol engines

Climate-friendly fuel produced sustainably

Ethanol: 70% less GHG emissions compared to fossil fuels*

•  The GHG values of all elements in the value-added chain are added up

•  The emissions from ethanol when used in combustion engines is zero

•  European ethanol reduces annual GHG emissions by >10 Mt**

Renewable ethanol - advantages

•  Ethanol…

  •  As direct blend to petrol (e.g. E5, E10, E85)

  •  As component in ETBE (octane booster)

•  E10 reduces CO2, NOx and particulate matter

  •  WLTP* benchmark, label in tank flap of all new cars

  •  Potential savings (EU): >20 Mt CO2eq (8 million less cars on the road)

•  Potential for 20% ethanol blending (Super E20)

  •  Potential savings: >40 Mt CO2eq (16 million less cars on the road)

  •  Successful racing results (Porsche/Nürburgring)

*Worldwide harmonized light-duty vehicle test
