With all of these highlights the conference should not be missed by professionals working or even investing in this industry. If you want to learn the basics of this plant derived fuel, read on for an introduction.

Ethanol is a form of alcohol contained in alcoholic beverages. It is commonly made from plants like corn, wheat and even sugarcane. In Brazil where a large percentage of citizens use ethanol sugarcane is the production material of choice. To become fuel a denaturant is added to make the ethanol unable to be consumed. Usually this denaturant is gasoline. The majority of conventional gasoline contains a small percentage of ethanol to make it burn cleaner and reduce the amount of harmful emissions. Ethanol fuel, commonly called E85, is a blend of 85 percent of ethanol and a 15 percent blend of gasoline. This fuel is compatible with FFV or flexible fuel vehicles.

Knowing the basics about the Ethanol Conference and ethanol in general before converting to this fuel or attending this conference is a must. At the conference you may also learn more about the debate going on about ethanol. Some supporters feel it is a viable alternative to gasoline while others think ethanol has its own set of disadvantages. One thing is for sure, many investors and drivers alike are waiting to see what the future of ethanol holds as an alternative to fossil fuel derived gasoline.
