Two less impressive but key bits of E-Fuel paraphernalia: on top, a
package of EFuel100-branded sugar feedstock. E-Fuel executives said
that the company is working with sugar distributors to make it easy for
MicroFueler owners to purchase inexpensive fuel for their ethanol
plants.
Also shown: a carbon credit coupon. The price of EFuel100 feedstock is subsidised by government and corporate carbon offsets; this, according to execs, can bring the price of sugar fuel down significantly. Still, they emphasised, they don't think consumers should be concerned about rising food prices affecting the cost of sugar. Unlike wheat and rice, they insisted, sugar is in surplus.
