May 9, 2001DOE Ethanol Workshop Series: Eugene, Oregon Yesterday in Eugene, Oregon the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) held another successful ethanol workshop. Led by John White of Oregon Office of Energy, the workshop covered several important topics relevant to the ethanol industry in the Northwest. During the course of the workshop ethanol was examined as a potential solution for the energy, environmental, and economic problems facing the area.
“The DOE Ethanol Workshop Series has been highly successful throughout the nation and today in Eugene was no exception,” said Kathy Bryan, vice president of BBI International and workshop organizer. “The attendees at today’s workshop are enthusiastic about ethanol and the unique opportunities it (ethanol) could provide for the Northwest.”
Released during the workshop was a new ethanol report from Climate Solutions titled, Harvesting Clean Energy for Rural Development: Ethanol.
The new Climate Solutions report covers both the current and future ethanol industries. It identifies pathways that can give ethanol the competitive edge, and potentials for development of the industry in the Northwest.
The report points to research that shows ethanol also significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. For each gallon of starch-based ethanol used in a 10% blend with gasoline, greenhouse emissions are cut 12-19%. Cellulosic ethanol reduce greenhouse emissions even more, balancing out carbon dioxide coming out of tailpipes with CO2 soaked up from the air by growing plants. Ethanol could power new generation fuel cell vehicles.
