Ethanol

Corn Field
Ethanol is a clean-burning additive made from corn, a renewable resource. It is available in either a 10 percent blend (E-10) or an 85 percent blend (E-85). You can safely use E-10 in everything from cars to trucks, lawn mowers to boat motors, motorcycles to snowmobiles.

When North Dakotans use ethanol, everyone wins. It translates into higher prices for our farmers, more good jobs, a robust economy, and a cleaner environment. It's good for our engines, it's good for North Dakota, it's good for America, and it's good for the Earth.


A recent Congressional Report found that the use of ethanol was not primarily responsible for the increase of food costs in 2008. Check out the full report below for more information.
