There remains a continuous interest in the use of renewable energy sources (Schubert 2006). Ethanol is a renewable fuel oil which over the next 20 years could become one of the main types of biofuel in the transport sector (Hahn-Hägerdal et al. 2006). Ethanol has a high octane number, has oxygen in its chemical structure and has a higher heat of vaporization than gasoline, which makes alcohol a perfect fuel for hybrid automobiles of the nextgeneration.Ultimately, this practice leads to better fuel oxidation and thus reduces theexhaust gas (MacLean and Lave 2003).
