ethanol smog

Copyright (c) 2009 Wes Fernley

Actually, ethanol is the same type of alcohol as that found in alcoholic beverages. So can we just keep a jug of vodka in the car in case we run out of gas? Afraid not!

Widely used in Brazil and the United States—much more than in any other part of the world—ethanol in a blend of no more than 10% will work just fine in most cars. In some cities, a 10% blend is mandated. In Brazil, the mandatory blend is 25%.

What makes it so attractive is that it is renewable, unlike the petroleum we now depend upon. It can be produced from agricultural feedstocks such as sugar cane, potato, manioc, and corn. Because of the difficulties with obtaining enough of these feedstocks coupled with high costs of production, research has turned to alternative sources such as cellulose.

Cellulosic ethanol is made from cellusolic fibers, a component in plant cell walls. The discovery that these can be used to produce ethanol is turning around previous research and the hope is that by using wheat stalks instead of grain, and corn stalks instead of ears, for example, we can increase our production of ethanol substantially without putting food supplies in jeopardy.

Other sources for ethanol production are ethylene (acetylene), calcium carbide, coal, oil gas, among others. Plants in the United States, Europe, and South Africa produce two million tons of petroleum-derived ethanol annually.

How is it renewable?

It is renewable because it uses a source that is naturally replenished. That is, sunlight, the source for photosynthesis, accounts for the production of sugar cane or corn, or any other ethanol source. Agricultural products are considered renewable because they use photosynthesis to grow. Of course, certain minerals such as nitrogen and phosphorus must be returned to the land, so this must be accounted for in the cost of production. Some of the crops than can produce ethanol are as follow:

- Cotton

- Fruit

- Most grains

- Sugar Cane

- Sugar Beet

- Sorghum

- Switchgrass

- Potatoes

- Kenaf

- Hemp

- Barley

- Sweet Potatoes

- Cassava

- Corn

- Sunflower

- Straw

- Cellulose Waste

Ethanol is produced by the microbial fermentation of sugars followed by distillation, dehydration, and denaturing. Enzymes are sometimes used to convert starch into sugar before the fermentation process begins.

Conventional unleaded gasoline produces carbon dioxide and aldehydes in such quantities that urban, car-based cities like Los Angeles are unfit for some people to live in, especially those who suffer respiratory weaknesses or disabilities. Stanford University, in a study by its atmospheric scientists, discovered that if the shift were made to ethanol from unleaded gasoline, deaths would be reduced by 9% every year in Los Angeles. Unleaded gasoline increases ozone levels significantly resulting in a dramatic increase in photochemical smog and an increase in medical problems such as asthma, the bane of citizens of Los Angeles.

Because of all of these factors, if you're thinking of burning a fireplace, it would be wise for you and your family as well as the atmosphere where you live to explore biofuel fireplaces where you can fuel some of the heating of your house with fuel that will not add to the existing problems.

Article Source: ArticlesBase.com - Exactly what is Ethanol?

What do you think about ethanol? Is the solution to our problem of pollution and oil dependence?

They have been sufficiently investigated? Http: / / www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2006-07-10-ethanol-study_x.htm From the article: Compared to gasoline, which produces 12% less "greenhouse gas emissions linked to global warming, the study said. But the researchers also said it has drawbacks environmental, including "markedly greater" releases of nitrogen, phosphorous and pesticides into waterways as runoff from corn fields. Ethanol, especially at higher concentrations in gasoline, also produce more pollution-causing pollutants than gasoline per unit of energy burned, the researchers said.

I agree with almost everything. One thing not mentioned is that in the ethanol front, which actually produces more pollution. Above all, where manufacturers are located in areas where consumption coal power plants. In addition, traditional pipes can not "be used for transport must be transported by truck, which is another form of pollution. Mileage runs up to 20% in the filling of others, if I really see no advantage at all. In the years 70s and early 80s, tried this and it worked. He was tried and abandoned several times, I can not believe they are trying to new.

Ethanol Molecule $16.99 Ah, glorious ethanol, aka ethyl alcohol. How we love you. We would count the ways, but we can't remember them all. And even if we could, we like to count on our fingers, and we might not have the motor coordination for that right now. So we'll leave the exact number of ways we love you unsaid. But it's a lot. Our artist figured ethanol deserved slightly different treatment than our Caffeine Molecule, Capsaicin Molecule, and Chocolate Molecule designs. The ancient Egyptians may have had 17 different types of beer, but it wasn't until 1808 that Nicolas-Théodore de Saussure determined ethanol's magical chemical formula, hence our established on date for the molecular structure. This is a black, 100% cotton t-shirt. The ethyl alcohol moleculecular structure is emblazoned in white on a red emblem encircled with a golden-yellow edge and flanked by stalks of blessed grain, the fermentation of which presumably led to the alcohol molecular structure shown. Beneath is a banner of the same yellow which reads "Est. 1808 - Saussure."

Smog Check $34.95 When federal and state governments battle over environmental regulations, whose approach should prevail? Shortly after passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, a controversial U.S. EPA mandate led to an intense conflict between federal regulators and California politicians. The disagreement pitted EPA's required overhaul of auto inspections against California's desire to self-govern its test program - popularly called 'Smog Check.' The conflict nearly upended the Clean Air Act, and triggered dramatic policy shifts throughout the United States. Smog Check presents these struggles in first-hand detail. Eisinger, an EPA official at the time of this conflict, probes deeply into the issues and explores broader questions including: when does it become imperative for agencies to bargain with one another, when should regulatory flexibility and performance-based regulations be favored over command and control approaches, and what should be done when decisions need to be made in the face of scientific disagreement? The book also includes insightful commentary from other EPA participants in the Smog Check controversy. Smog Check's lessons will be relevant to climate change, air pollution control, and numerous other policy challenges.

Stay Golden, Smog: The Best of Golden Smog $13.58 Between 1992 and 2007, Golden Smog, the engagingly shambolic alt country stupor-group featuring members of the Jayhawks, Wilco, Soul Asylum, and Run Westy Run, cut two EPs and three full-length albums. That may not seem like much of a catalog from which to draw a "Greatest Hits" album, but Stay Golden, Smog: The Best of Golden Smog, The Rykodisc Years doesn't even dig that deep. Stay Golden, Smog gathers eight of the fourteen songs from the Smog's first full album, 1995's Down by the Old Mainstream, and eight of the fifteen tunes from the follow-up, 1998's Weird Tales. As the title would suggest, Golden Smog's two most recent efforts, released by Lost Highway Records, aren't represented here, and their debut EP, 1992's On Golden Smog -- originally released on a small Minneapolis indie label and later reissued by Rykodisc -- is ignored. At this writing, the entire Golden Smog catalog is in print, and all of this begs the question: what exactly is the point of this album? There's no arguing that there's plenty of fine music on this collection; Golden Smog may have started as a drunken goof among a handful of friends, but there was an undeniable chemistry between the participants, and with the likes of Jeff Tweedy, Gary Louris, Dan Murphy, Marc Perlman, Kraig Johnson, and Jody Stephens on board, it's no surprise that this disc features some really fine songs played by friends who know how to make them work in the studio. Unlike most side projects, Golden Smog was capable of coming up with material worthy of the members' day jobs (such as "Won't Be Coming Home," "To Call My Own," and "Pecan Pie"), and to bait the hook for completists, this set tosses in two unreleased tracks, a rough early take of "Until You Came Along," and a cover of Brian Wilson's "Love and Mercy." But as an overview of Golden Smog's career thus far, Stay Golden, Smog leaves too much by the sidelines to do the trick, and since Down by the Old Mainstream and Weird Tales are in print and available at mid-line price, this disc isn't even especially cost effective. In short, only the most casual observers or superfans desperate for the two unreleased songs need concern themselves with this. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Performers: Tom Merkl - Toy Piano; Jim Dickinson - Wurlitzer; Bryan Hanna - Vocals (Background), Tambourine; Dan Murphy - Vocals (Background), Harmonica, Guitar (Acoustic), Vocals, Guitar (Electric); Gary Louris - Guitar (12 String Acoustic), Guitar (12 String Electric), Moog Synthesizer, Vocals (Background), Vocals, Guitar (Electric), Piano, Guitar (Acoustic);

The Great Corn Ethanol Ripoff (Hardcover) $13.16 In this in-depth, fact-based evaluation, Ken G. Glozer provides a detailed political history of how the United States ended up with current federal corn ethanol policy. Part I relates the significant external events that have driven the politics that in turn has driven the policy since 1977. He answers important questions about when the policy started, how it evolved, what were the major political and market forces that drove it, and, most important, who were the key officials that formed and shaped the policy.  Part II of the book contains an in-depth objective evaluation of the major claims made by those who have advocated the ethanol policies during the past thirty years. Glozer uses his analytic, policy evaluation skills, honed during his twenty-six years with the White House Office of Management and Budget, to probe how well the ethanol policy has worked compared to the claims made by two presidents, three federal agencies, ethanol producers, and the corn and soybean growers. The author presents the results of an evaluation of the Renewal Fuels Standard, which was first enacted in 1975 then doubled, to a mandatory 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol blended into the nation’s gasoline supplies. His surprising finding—that federal ethanol policy has little to do with energy and everything to do with wealth transfer—is particularly compelling because, after three decades of federal subsidies, trade protection, and, most recently, mandated ethanol blending, ethanol remains uneconomical. Also, according to the Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration, ethanol never has and never will have a significant impact on petroleum imports compared to what could be achieved under a comp
