If not, the fuel oxidizes, creating corrosive by-products.This is bad news for car engines, especially for injection components vulnerable to acids. Ethanol poses its own problems: the fuel is very attracted to water, so it’s hard to handle in humid climates like that of West Africa. In order to meet the specification required, the ethanol...

What’s the advantage of biofuels? The promise of biofuels is that they let you have your cake and eat it: to drive cars ithout damaging the environment. The idea is that biofuels are a way to recycle carbon dioxide. CO2 is released when any fuel is burned. But the carbon stored in petroleum or coal, has been there for thousands of years, so burning these fuels adds CO2 to the air. But biofuels are made from plants, which remove CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow: emissions are balanced by carbon capture. There are other potential bonuses, too....
