Future of Ethanal -Flus uncertain
The test marketing of ethanol -enhanced
gasoline just completed by United Co-
operatives of Ontario (UCO) achieved its
objectives, and the sale of Ethanol -Plus at
UCO's Guelph and Listowel test locations
was discontinued on Jan. 31.
"The consumer were very willing to try
ethanol -blended gasoline andmany kept us-
ing it," said Glet, Perschbacher, UCO's
Vice-president, petroleum. "We'll have
Ethanol -Plus back at the Co-op's pumps. as
soon as it's feasible."
Large scale production and refinery
storage isessential for the economical, on-
going marketing of the blend which uses
ethanol instead oflead toenhance the octane
rating of gasoline. Under Federal legisla-
tion, lead must be eliminated from all
gasoline by Jan. 1990.
However, petroleum industry:support for
ethanol is weak as other heavy metal
replacements for lead, such=rnagnesiuzn
based MMT, can beused in Canada. These
substitutes, which are less expensive than
ethanol but may have adverse environmen-
tal Impacts, are banned in the U.S.
Americans use more fuel ethanol than Cana-
dians use gasoline.
In addition, the Canadian government has
not provided ethanol producers with incen-
tives similar to those available to synthetic
crude, heavy oil and other alternative
energy projects, and companies such as St.
Lawrence Starch have withdrawn from the
fuel ethanol industry.
The Co-op will continue to pursue the use
of ethanol as an environmentally safer oc-
tane enhancer by working with the Ontario
Corn Producers' Association and Ontario
Federation of Agriculture in assessing its
economics and seeking government incen-
tives. UCO will work within the petroleum
industry to encourage the use of ethanolas
an octane source.
UCO also hopes to encourage, through its
assertive environmental position, the in-
troduction of legislation requiring the use of
oxygenated fuels. Under California and. Col-
orado clean air standards for winter sales,
gasoline must contain two per cent oxygen,
and Ethanol -Plus already exceeds that
requirement.
UCO's test, which ran for over a year
from Oct. 21,1987, demonstrated that almost
100 per cent of the consumers asked were
willing to try the ethanol -enhanced gasoline.
Over 60 per cent continued to use the Co-op's
product and few customer complaints were
received.
Ethanol -Plus which includes up to three
per cent ethanol and five per cent other
alcohols provides the essential anti -knock
and performance characteristics required
by today's automobiles. During the test, its
octane rating averaged about one per vent
