Holden News
Holden have confirmed that eventhough there are limited E85 service stations in Australia at present, they will be bringing out the E85 compatible Commodore sooner than you think.



The New E85 Flex Fuel Commodore

The Holden Rep advised: “This becomes almost a chicken-and-egg scenario and we intend to do the same thing in Australia: which is lead with equipment on the car, driving both the societal awareness of renewable fuels and the application of the supply base for them.” 

They are confident once the E85 compatible cars start to flood the markets the bowsers will start to open.

“The benefits of ethanol are huge, it is a comparatively clean-burning renewable fuel and it requires a very small cost to modify existing technology.”

“I think it is our responsibility as an auto industry and as a company to lead this. If we wait until we have $8 a litre petrol, and we wait until bad things happen to respond, that is a pretty poor place to be. We owe the society, the economy and our customers a lot more than that as an industry and as a company.”

New technology is being developed that will see ethanol being produced from waste.

In Australia, we are growing algae (to make ethanol) and the commercialisation process has begun in Victoria.
Also we use waste sugar cane stock and collect byproducts of the fermentation process at a flour/starch/gluten processing plant.
