(Clean Fuels Development Coalition) The Clean Fuels Development Coalition (CFDC) today applauded the work of the State of Nebraska following the release of a report that found higher ethanol blends are safe, efficient, and cost effective when used in conventional vehicles.
The yearlong demonstration involved 50 non-flex fuel vehicles (non-FFVs) from the State of Nebraska’s fleet “to determine adaptability, economic feasibility, and environmental impact of using E30”. According to Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts, the final report on the test indicates positive results on all counts.
“These results validate what we have known for some time now, which is that today’s automobiles can perform quite well on higher ethanol blends, at a lower cost per mile and with significant environmental improvements”, said CFDC Member Jim Seurer of Glacial Lakes Energy in Watertown, South Dakota.
