Advanced biofuels, which include isobutanol and other alcohol systems will:

• Deliver the performance of gasoline without the environmental impact
• Help to eliminate supply scarcity and reduce our dependency on foreign oil
• Reduce greenhouse gases and emissions

Advanced biofuels like isobutanol can also address many challenges that first-generation biofuels such as ethanol have faced on their path to market: energy efficiency, transport and the need to modify existing engines. In contrast, isobutanol:

• Has a higher energy content per gallon than many first generation biofuels
• Does not absorb water and can be transported through the existing oil and gas distribution infrastructure.
• Can be used in gas-powered vehicles without modification or blending, which reduces our dependency on fossil fuels.
