The American Coalition for Ethanol promotes the production and use of ethanol - Americas renewable fuel. Ethanol is a biofuel made from corn and other crops and, soon, from cellulosic sources.
This site was created to help fuel marketers learn more about selling blends of ethanol by installing ethanol blender pumps, or flex fuel pumps. Here, you'll learn how ethanol, America's renewable fuel, can be used in various blends.
Ethanol is made by fermenting and then distilling starch and sugar crops - maize, sorghum, potatoes, wheat, sugar-cane, even cornstalks, fruit and vegetable waste.
Why make your own fuel? Because you can!
