- Domestic production of renewable fuels adds value to our agricultural products and stimulates economic growth and employment in our rural communities. In the US the production of ethanol has gone from 100 million litres a year in 1980 to 12 billion litres of ethanol a year, this has meant 4% income added to US Farmers, at least 300,000 jobs, US$2 billion reduction in the US trade deficit.
- In Australia the domestic production of renewable fuels would reduce our reliance on depleting domestic and foreign oil reserves. By providing an alternative fuel resource ethanol plays a crucial role in ensuring Australians energy security.
- Ethanol is made from a renewable resource, Australian agricultural crops, so support our farmers when choosing your fuel next time, fill up your car with e10.
