bio-fuels development plan: report

[Misterloxo]

Here is a report from the France 3 news on the bio-fuels development plan which had been launched almost a year ago (I believe):

"Europe is the only geographic area in the world in which ethanol is shared with another fossil product before it is mixed with gasoline"

Initially, ethanol is, I believe, an additive used to replace lead in gasoline to lower the octane number
The ecological interest of this agro-fuel (see Christophe for the definition) being called into question today, we can only rejoice in the use rates here, unlike what is done elsewhere.

You meant I think "to increase the octane number" because alcohol supports a compression ~ 15-20% greater than gasoline, that's why the ideal "flex fuel" would be a supercharged engine at variable pressure ...
