Ethanol

Husky brand “Mother Nature’s Fuel” is a clean burning fuel made of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline. An alcohol-based product, Husky’s ethanol is made primarily from feed grade wheat. Carbohydrate (starch) in the grain is converted to ethanol in a fermentation and distillation process.

When blended with gasoline, ethanol boosts engine performance and reduces tailpipe emissions. Depending on the vehicle’s age, owner’s driving habits, driving conditions and other factors, ethanol-blended gasoline can reduce carbon monoxide emissions up to 25 percent. Compared to conventional gasoline, Mother Nature’s Fuel can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production, transportation and use of fuel in vehicles. Currently, Husky markets E85, a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, to government fleets across Western Canada.

A pioneer in the development and marketing of ethanol-blended fuels, Husky has been manufacturing ethanol since 1981. Husky is Western Canada’s largest producer of ethanol with plants at Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, and Minnedosa, Manitoba, with the capacity to produce a total 260 million litres of ethanol per year.
