Contracts for a further 1,993 MW were awarded in December<br />

2015 to 22 existing biomass plants, 20 of which use sugarcane<br />

bagasse as fuel, and two which use wood residues, from Lucas<br />

11 auction,” SeeNews Renewables, 11 December 2015, http://<br />

51 As the amount of gasoline in the market grows, so does the<br />

opportunity to add additional ethanol to maintain a 10% share<br />

of the total gasoline volume. The “blend wall” is the maximum<br />

amount of ethanol that can be blended into gasoline which is<br />

compatible with use of ethanol/gasoline blends in the current<br />

vehicle fleet. This depends on the levels which are covered by<br />

national standards or, for example, by the warranties for vehicles<br />

and customer acceptance. The technical limit is a matter of some<br />

debate amongst experts and industry spokesmen. It is possible to<br />

go beyond this notional limit, for example by adopting measures<br />

to encourage vehicles which can tolerate a higher level of ethanol<br />

(such as “flex-fuel” vehicles common in Brazil, Sweden and some<br />

other countries).<br />
