NCGA has partnered with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy science and energy laboratory, to conduct engine testing on various engines with mid-level ethanol blends. The research shows higher blends of ethanol increase engine performance, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce emissions across vehicle types.
Alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:
- 3.9 By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution contamination.
- 7.1 By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services.
- 7.2 By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
- 9.5 Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all counties, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending.
- 12.2 By 2030, achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources.
