Europe dissing ethanol?

Are other biofuels a better option than ethanol?

"Cars that run on ethanol are more of a marketing gimmick," says Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, director of the Center for Automotive Research in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

While that might be true in Germany, other parts of Europe are interested in developing ethanol, according to an interesting article in Business Week. Nonetheless, much research is also being done into a wide range of fuels, and this diversification could benefit Europe greatly according to BW.

On the other hand, in the U.S. many bio-fuel developers claim that the U.S. is too focused on ethanol - Good ole Congress.
