One of the bio-fuels is the bio-ethanol, which is ethyl alcohol or ethanol of agricultural origin, the same that is found in the alcoholic beverages. This fuel is made by transforming vegetables that contain sucrose like beetroot and sugarcane and by fermenting sugar that is extracted from sugar plant. It can also be obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of starch that is present in the cereals like wheat and corn.

Bio-ethanol is used as a bio-fuel in the petrol engines as it allows better combustion by increasing octane mix rate. There are numerous advantages of using bio-ethanol, one of which is reducing the emissions of greenhouse gas emissions. Consuming bio-ethanol substitutes other problematic and exogenous energies like nuclear and fossil energy. So, using bio-ethanol, even on a very small scale, contribute very significantly to the safety of the earth’s environment. Harmful emissions from the cars have a very negative impact on our environment and thus, it is widely suggested to use bio-ethanol for propelling green cars.
