The Illinois Corn Marketing Board (ICMB) chairman, Jon Rosenstiel, has announced that investments are being made in Clear Flame Engine Technologies to convert diesel engines to run on ethanol. Thanks to funding from the ICMB, Clear Flame Engine Technologies has made significant advancements in the technology, with trucks now on the road running on 98% pure ethanol. The company, based in Illinois near Chicago, recently sold its first converted truck and is currently conducting mileage tests with its fleet.
Rosenstiel highlights that this investment is a way to increase demand for corn and provide new opportunities for farmers to utilize their supply. The Clear Flame trucks offer the performance of diesel engines but with fuel cost savings and environmental benefits over traditional semis. This innovation represents a step forward in finding new ways to utilize corn and support sustainable practices within the industry.
The development of Clear Flame Engine Technologies signifies a shift towards more environmentally friendly practices in the transportation industry, with the potential to reduce reliance on traditional diesel fuel. By converting diesel engines to run on ethanol, the Clear Flame trucks offer a more sustainable and cost-effective solution for transportation needs. This technology not only benefits farmers by creating a new market for corn but also contributes to efforts to reduce carbon emissions and promote cleaner energy sources.
