Globally there has been an increasing focus on low or zero emission powertrains, driven by climate concerns. Given the biogenic carbon capture of crops, Ethanol as a fuel has a much lower environmental impact than the traditional fossil fuels. This has brought into focus technologies such as electric, hybrid and hydrogen.
