Bioethanol and biodiesel are sources of renewable and clean energy that, for some time, have been reliably and credibly replacing gasoline and diesel oil in vehicle engines and contribute to the safety and diversification of the energy supply. Their use in a pure state or in mixtures with fossil fuels reduces CO2 emissions, hinders the progress of climate change and reduces the emission of contaminating agents into the atmosphere.
