“…They conclude that ethanol is mainly used as an additive to gasoline and that the complementary effect of ethanol dominates the substitution effect on gasoline prices. Szklo, Schaeffer, and Delgado (2007) conclude that by replacing methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), which is a traditional additive used as an oxygenate to raise the octane number, ethanol blending will not reduce gasoline use until flexible fuel vehicles become widely available. Vedenov et al (2006) apply a continuoustime option pricing method to calculate the decision threshold of switching to ethanol.…”

Using pooled regional time-series data and panel data estimation, we quantify the impact of monthly ethanol production on monthly retail regular gasoline prices. This analysis suggests that the growth in ethanol production has caused retail gasoline prices to be $0.29 to $0.40 per gallon lower than would otherwise have been the case. The analysis shows that the negative impact of ethanol on gasoline prices varies considerably across regions. The Midwest region has the biggest impact, at $0.39/gallon, while the Rocky Mountain region had the smallest impact, at $0.17/gallon. The results also indicate that ethanol production has significantly reduced the profit margin of the oil refinery industry. The results are robust with respect to alternative model specifications. Keywords AbstractUsing pooled regional time-series data and panel data estimation, we quantify the impact of monthly ethanol production on monthly retail regular gasoline prices. This analysis suggests that the growth in ethanol production has caused retail gasoline prices to be $0.

“…Generally, bio-ethanol as a replacement for methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is added as a gasoline additive at approximately 11-14% to enhance the octane number and reduce the concentration of harmful substances in the exhaust gas [1]. After combustion of bio-ethanol in an engine, flue gases composed of a rich amount of H 2 O and CO 2 .…”

Low carbon steel (AISI 1005) was coated by hot-dipping into a molten Al-10% Si bath at 700 °C for 18s. After hotdipping treatment, the coating layers consisted of Al, Si, FeAl 3 , τ 5 -Fe 2 Al 8 Si, and Fe 2 Al 5 . The bare steel and the aluminized steel were isothermally oxidized at 700 °C in ethanol combustion product at atmospheric pressure for 49 h. The aluminized steel shows good performance in high temperature oxidation because the formation of Al 2 O 3 layer on the coating surface. The growth of iron oxide nodules on the surface coating was accelerated by rapid outward diffusion of Fe-ions due to the presence of H 2 O-vapour generated by ethanol combustion. Thus, the oxidation rate of aluminized steel increased, resulting in a substantial mass-gain as the oxidation time increased. After longer exposure, the τ 1 -(Al,Si) 5 Fe 3 phase was completely transformed to the FeAl in the outer layer. The FeAl formed near the steel substrate was due to Fe-atoms diffusing into the Fe 2 Al 5 layer when the time and temperature increased.

“…The position of oxygenated biocomponents as substitutes for petroleum-based gasoline consolidated with the fight for reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases (Aakko & Nylund, 2004;He et al, 2003;Szklo et al, 2007). Carbon dioxide emitted by the burning of oxygenated biocomponents can be remedied to a large extent by growing plants that can absorb the carbon dioxide.…”
