New biofuel standard coming to German pumps

Source : dw-world.de

Higher ethanol content biofuel is being introduced for German drivers. But critics say the intiative may see higher prices at the pump and cause damage to the environment. As of January 1, 2011, German drivers will have the option to fuel up their cars with new Super E10, a biofuel with higher ethanol content. The change is part of Germany's plan to incrementally decrease its carbon emissions, with the goal of an 80% reduction by 2050. But for everyday German drivers, the cost of the new biofuel is still a relative unknown, and the subject of much speculation. Previously, biofuel in Germany only had 5% ethanol content, whereas E10 packs a solid 10% ethanol, an increase that should prove more environmentally friendly.
