Automotive Use of Alcohol in Brazil and Air Pollution Related Aspects 850390
The continued expansion of alcohol use in Brazil, to replace gasoline as fuel for Otto internal combustion engines, has led to the technological development of these engines. However, despite the progress achieved in fuel economy, driveability, corrosion resistance, etc., no comparable progress has been achieved in air pollutants emission control.
This paper presents an overview of the alcohol automotive use in Brazil and discusses its air pollution related aspects.
