Germany has announced that since January 1, 2011, Super E10 ethanol gasoline (10% ethanol-gasoline blend) has been introduced and refueled at more than 14,000 gas stations. Before that, German biofuels contained only 5% ethanol.
The German Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) estimates that 90% of German cars can use E10 ethanol gasoline.
BMU believes that gasoline containing higher amounts of ethanol can reduce the impact of carbon emissions on the environment and reduce dependence on depleted petroleum reserves. This move will help Germany achieve European Union directives and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the EU as a whole by 60% from 2018
