About the webinar
As an alternative to fossil fuels, ethanol is blended with gasoline to create cleaner-burning fuel options, contributing to the decarbonization initiative by reducing the overall carbon footprint of transportation fuels. This biofuel is not only more environmentally friendly due to its lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional gasoline, but it also helps in diversifying energy sources and promoting energy security.
However, the utilization of ethanol also brings specific safety considerations. Being a highly flammable liquid, ethanol requires careful handling, storage, and transport to prevent accidents such as fires and explosions.
In this webinar, our expert will explain how to quantify the hazards of ethanol.
Even if the webinar schedule doesn’t suit your availability, you’re welcome to register and we’ll ensure you receive the recording.
