|
Company
|
|
Tuesday, 20 June 2006 |
BP and DuPont have today (20th June) announced the creation of a partnership to develop, produce and market a next generation of biofuels to help meet increasing global demand for renewable transport fuels.
BP and DuPont have been working together since 2003 to develop advanced biofuels with properties that can help overcome the limitations of existing biofuels. That work has now progressed to the point where they are able to bring the first jointly developed product to market. The companies' joint strategy is to deliver advanced biofuels that will provide improved options for expanding energy supplies and accelerate the move to renewable transportation fuels which lower overall greenhouse gas emissions.

5-year study shows driving on ethanol cheaper than gasoline |
|
Technology
|
|
Tuesday, 20 June 2006 |
|
A long-term study conducted in Brazil by CEPEA has concluded that it is cheaper to use ethanol than gasoline. The study compared prices of ethanol with those of gasoline over a period of five years (July 2001 to April 2006). It then measured the energy content of batches of ethanol available at the pump (ethanol has an energy content of between 60 and 70% of gasoline's). Finally, analysing the average mileage of flex-fuel vehicles, the study calculates the relative economy of each fuel type.
