Hawaii plans on using the Ethanol financially as fuel used to operate cars, and trucks. Through the production of Ethanol, it can be used as a gasoline extender, oxygenate, and octane booster used in more than 40 states. The mixture of Ethanol with the normal Gasoline or Unleaded Fuel will produce a fuel known as the Gasohol or as the E-10 Unleaded: gasoline containing 10% ethanol. Moreover, the government of Hawaii is issuing an awareness campaign in its transition to ethanol-blended fuels, and that Ethanol can reduce the dependence on the fossil fuel.
Ever since April 2, 2006, 85% of Hawaii’s gasoline has been E-10, which is now a normal component of today’s gasoline, and Since Ethanol is cost effective, Hawaii has been looking for reliable fuel supplies that are essential to the economy, where now, it can be possible to convert plant from being powered by fossil fuel into now being powered by Ethanol, while providing support to the local agricultural sector; and since Ethanol is financially viable, it has diverse sources ranging from feed stocks, including molasses, food waste, yard and wood wastes.
Ethanol is not only used as fuel in Hawaii but also used as feedstock, with a base chemical for other organic compounds; as an antiseptic, which is used in wipes for antibacterial purposes with a concentration of 62% by weight; as an antidote for poisoning by some other toxic alcohols; and lastly as some other purposes such as marker inks.
