The ICCT team only examined technical barriers to the consumption of blends of ethanol above 10%: the effect of higher ethanol blends on passenger vehicles and smaller engines and the impact on infrastructure. In this situation, there is not enough fuel evaporation to cool the mixture, and the temperature of the exhaust gas rises.
