Co-op makes first bulk delivery
of ethanol -blended gasoline
by Pat Livingston
UCO ' Petroleum Inc. continued
with its objective to "return some
com to your farm" when the Luck -
now Co-op officially delivered its
first bulk order of ethanol gasoline
last week. Various UCO officials,
local Co-op management, and farm
organization representatives were on
hand for the opening at the local
Co-op's bulk station. .
Wietse Posthumus, district
petroleum manager, said they have
had a very "favorable response" in
the area to ethanol gasoline, which
sells for the same price as regular
gas. Ethanol gasoline is promoted
as "reducing pollution, supporting
Ontario agriculture, and reducing
the country's dependency on im-
ported crude oil."
Delivery of bulk ethanol gasoline
to the farmer is considered tobe the
"completion" of the cycle of com
production - from the farmer back
to the farm.
Ethanol -blended gasoline was
launched in •15 towns in 1992.

BUSINESS BEAT
Currently, the product is available
at all Co-op gas bars and bulk
depots in south western Ontario.
Local divisions of W.G.
Thompson and Sons Ltd. and
Cook's, a Division of Parrish and
Heimbecker, are two suppliers of
virtually all the corn used to
produce ethanol at Commercial
Alcohol in Tiverton. Approximately
150 metric tons of corn are received
each day.
After the corn is used to make
alcohol, the remainder - termed
'wet distiller's grain', is sold as
cattle feed in Ontario, Michigan and
New York. The alcohol production
uses starches and sugars leaving
high quality protein known as
DDG, which is a valuable sup-
plement for feeding cattle.
The ethanol produced in Tiverton
uses all Ontario corn. It is then
blended with tailored gasoline at
Sunoco's London plant.
Bob Downs, on behalf of the
Ontario Corn Producers said, "We
have tried to promote ethanol for a
good number• of years, and are.
pleased that there is this movement
with ethanol usage in gasoline in
Ontario.
Bruce County Federation of
Agriculture representative, Grant .
Collins, said, "We have been lob-
bying hand-in-hand to promote use
of home grown grain in ethanol
production. He congratulated the
UCO on the innovation saying, ".,.
the Co-op will motivate others in - ,
thefuel industry to do likewise."
