C2H5OH
anhydrous ethanol (99.5 vol % minimum purity) and hydrous ethanol (about 95 vol % minimum purity).
The main application of Ethanol is as a vehicle fuel, either alone or in gasoline blends. Anhydrous Ethanol is predominantly used in blends while Hydrous Ethanol is also used alone as a fuel. When used in gasoline blends, Ethanol increases the octane number and allows for more complete combustion.Another application of Ethanol is as an industrial solvent, being widely used since it dissolves both polar and nonpolar compounds. Ethanol is also used in pharmaceuticals, inks, cosmetics, antiseptics and as a chemical intermediate.

About Ethanol. Ethanol (a.k.a. Ethyl Alcohol, Bio-Ethanol, EtOH) is one of the simplest alcohols with the molecular formula C2H5OH. It is a colorless, volatile, flammable liquid, soluble in water and in most organic compounds. The alcohol can be found naturally in many sources, as it is the by-product of anaerobic sugar fermentation. Ethanol is considered to be one of the oldest human food products, since fermented beer was consumed as early as 3000 B.C. Its use has widened in modern times, being the first used fuel in 1850, and currently ethanol can be employed as a versatile chemical building block due to its unique combination of properties.

<p><b>About Ethanol Prices.</b> Ethanol is a biofuel that is widely used in various industrial applications as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels and as an additive to gasoline worldwide. As an industrial client, having access to reliable ethanol price data is essential for making informed decisions about pricing strategies, supply chain management, and investment opportunities.</p><p>The price of ethanol varies globally and is influenced by several factors, including the cost of feedstock, production technology, government policies and subsidies, taxes, and transportation costs. The price of feedstock, such as corn and sugarcane, is a significant factor that impacts the price of ethanol. Competition with the food industry for both the feedstock and the farmland can affect the price of ethanol.</p><p>The production technology used to produce ethanol plays a crucial role in pricing. Newer and more efficient technologies can reduce the cost of production, leading to lower ethanol prices. Government policies and subsidies also change ethanol prices. As environmental concerns increase, subsidies for biofuels are on the rise. There are mandates requiring the use of more ethanol in gasoline, which increases the demand for ethanol. Taxes on transportation fuels also impact ethanol prices.</p><p>Transportation costs can significantly influence ethanol prices, particularly in regions where ethanol must be transported over long distances to reach consumers. Ethanol is primarily produced in agricultural regions, so transportation costs to other regions can be significant.</p><p>As a renewable fuel source, the demand for ethanol continues to grow, and understanding the factors that influence ethanol prices is increasingly important for industrial clients that rely on ethanol as a fuel or feedstock. Having access to reliable ethanol price data from around the world can help businesses make informed decisions about their operations.</p>
