New ethanol technology could save gas

摘要

ETHANOL FROM RENEWABLE agricultural crops and forest wastes and energy crops could replace half the automotive fuel in the U.S.,said a researcher from the University of Florida."We can reduce our dependence on imported oil and lower the price of automotive fuel by reformulating our gasoline with ethanol derived from inexpensive farm wastes,"said Lonnie Ingram,a professor of microbiology with UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
