What is bio-ethanol? As bio-ethanol is a renewable fuel derived from plants (such as sweet sorghum, cassava, cereals, sugar beet etc.) or biomass (such as wood waste), the primary environmental benefit is the reduction of COČ emissions. The use of bio-ethanol can lead to up to a significant reduction in overall COČ emissions compared to a traditional petrol only engine. Bio-ethanol used as part of the fuel, by blending with petrol, for a motor vehicle is called fuel-ethanol. Bio-ethanol can be blended in various proportions in petrol.
