E85 Questions and Answers

E85 is an alcohol fuel mixture that typically contains a mixture of up to 85% denatured fuel ethanol and gasoline or other hydrocarbon by volume. On an undenatured basis, the ethanol component ranges from 70% to 83%.

Q: How does operating a vehicle on E85 reduce CO2 (greenhouse gas) emissions by about 25%?
A: Consuming E85, a fuel made from natural biomass, does not contribute to greenhouse gas accumulations because the carbon from the natural biomass would have been released naturally into the earth’s atmosphere when the biomass decomposed naturally.

A: If the carbon released during feedstock farming and the subsequent production of ethanol is taken into account, ethanol derived from corn and combined with gasoline in an E85 fuel blend still contributes about 25% less CO2 into the earth’s atmosphere compared with gasoline.

Q: Approximately how many E85 fueling stations are there in the US?
A: There are about 600 E85 fueling stations in the United States.

Toyota Plant a Rumor?

Rumors are swirling that Toyota Motor Corporation is close to making an announcement about where it will build its next U.S. assembly plant. But if a decision is coming soon, nobody's talking.

A spokesman for Japan's top automaker, Dan Sieger, says Toyota is actively looking at sites. Competition is fierce since the assembly plant would create at least two thousand new jobs. Newspapers have reported that Chattanooga is a finalist, along with Marion, Arkansas, which is near Memphis.

The Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous sources, has also mentioned Chattanooga and Marion, along with Alamo, Tennessee, and Davidson County, North Carolina.

But Chattanooga's mayor, Tennessee's governor and the state's top industry recruiter won't say anything specific about the Toyota plant.

Officials in Chattanooga already have a 16-hundred-acre industrial site ready, and they have a contract with the law firm of the former U-S ambassador to Japan, former U-S senator Howard Baker, to help with economic development. Baker would not comment.
