CDM Project Idea
>Print page
Conversion of large automobile fleets to ethanol

It is widely known ethanol generates from 30 to 70% less CO2 and other gases such as NOx than regular gasoline cars.

This project uses brazilian automobile flex technology to allow any fuel injection gasoline car to run on 100% ethanol.

The end result is an instantaneous and easily verifiable reduction on exaust gases.

The project can be applied to developing countries with extreme city CO2 buildup problems such as Beijing, Sao Paulo, Santiago de Chile, Mexico City, etc.

Other comments
The amount of CO2 and NOx saved depends on the size of the fleet and the type of the cars involved. Checking it is extremely easy and can be done with inexpensive and certified gas analisis computers that analise the tail pipe exausts in a few minutes and give paper printouts that can be stored. The project involves running a full gas check before and after each car conversion. Since fleet cars are normally used for at least 2 years before being sold, it is perfectly possible to regain the investment.
