Ethanol Use and Gasoline Consumption in Thailand

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper preliminarily evaluates the potential of Thailand to substitute ethanol as an alternative to gasoline consumption. Even though the government has given necessary measures to stimulate the expansion of ethanol blend fuel consumption, the level of high ethanol blend (E85) use is still low. Therefore, it will take a long period of time to use ethanol (renewable energy) as a means to reduce crude oil imports, to improve environmental quality and to maintain energy security.
