Bioethanol is a readily available, clean fuel for combustion engines made from plant-based feedstocks. It produces considerably lower emissions on combustion and it only releases the same amount of carbon dioxide as plants bound while growing.

With advanced, energy saving production technology bioethanol can considerably reduce the climate relevant greenhouse gas emissions from transport and traffic.

• Exhaust gases of ethanol are much cleaner, it burns more cleanly (more complete combustion)
• The use of ethanol-blended fuels such as E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) can reduce the net emissions of greenhouse gases by as much as 37.1%, which is a significant amount.
• Positive energy balance – Depending to the type of raw stock it can vary from 1.24 to 8. The output of energy during the production is more than the input. (controversial)
• It is carbon neutral i.e. the carbon dioxide released in the bioethanol production process is the same amount as the one the crops previously absorbed during photosynthes
• It benefits energy security as it shifts the need for some foreign-produced oil to domestically-produced energy sources. Countries that do not have access to crude oil resources can grow crops for energy use and gain some economic freedom.
• It reduces greenhouse gases.
• It reduces the amount of high-octane additives.
