Bioethanol is a flammable colorless liquid that is actually ethanol. Ethanol, on the other hand, is produced from either oil or biomass. It is the ethanol produced from biomass that is most often called bioethanol. It is chemically identical to petroleum-derived ethanol. Bioethanol, unlike ethanol, is a renewable biofuel that is considered one of the most promising substitutes for fossil fuels. During combustion, bioethanol reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor and heat:
- C 2 H 5 OH + 3 O 2 → 2 CO 2 + 3 H 2 O + heat
Also, no odors are emitted and that is why this particular fuel product is used. Due to the great interest, various flavors are added to the fuel, which you can see on the website in the Bioethanol category.
