Budapest opens first biofuel gas station
Budapest's first biofuel station opens on Monday near the Pesterzsébet (District XX) Tesco hypermarket, reports ma.hu.
This is the third station selling the E85 fuel containing bioethanol in Hungary, as two other stations are already encouraging environmentally friendly driving in Bábolna and Győr.
Burning of ethanol with its high oxygen content is more efficient than using hydrocarbon-based gasoline. By using E85, motorists can decrease the quantity of carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons in our environment.
The station will be opened by László Dióssy, the State Secretary of Environmental Economy at the Ministry of Environment and Water.
