Ethanol from Sea weed or some other ocean resource
Canada to Require Gasoline Contain 5% Renewable Fuel by 2010
May 23 (Bloomberg) -- Canada will require that gasoline and diesel contain an average of 5 percent renewable energy by 2010 to cut pollution and bolster domestic corn and grain farming.
The target, 10 times higher than current levels, includes fuels such as ethanol made from corn or wheat, and bio-diesel created from recycled cooking oil or slaughterhouse waste, Natural Resources Minister Gary Lunn said today.
``Five percent is an ambitious target,'' Lunn, 49, said in a phone interview from Regina, Saskatchewan, after he and Environment Minister Rona Ambrose announced the plan with provincial officials. ``It's one we feel we can meet.''
Husky Energy Inc. and Suncor Energy Inc. are expanding ethanol production in Canada to meet increased demand for the fuel. Most cars in North America can already run on fuel that uses up to 10 percent ethanol.
Lets see if we can turn this into our favor by trying to develop etanol from something we have like bog or sea weed. We have a vested interest in trying to maintain the worlds dependance on liquid energy fuel and ethanol seems to be one way to do this . Alberta has seen the future we should jump on the band wagon.
