Ethanol fuel in Sweden

Imagine you have a toy car that runs on juice instead of gasoline. Now, grown-up cars can use a special kind of juice called ethanol to run instead of regular gasoline. Sweden is one country that uses ethanol to power cars because it is more environmentally friendly.

So, where does the ethanol come from? It is usually made from plants like corn or sugarcane. These plants are turned into a liquid to make the ethanol.

In Sweden, gasoline that is sold to cars has a small amount of ethanol mixed with it. When you fill up a car with gasoline, you also get a bit of ethanol too - just like how you might mix juice with water to make it less sweet.

Using more ethanol in cars is good for the environment because it produces less pollution. This is important because pollution can make the air we breathe dirty and cause health problems.

So next time you see a car driving on the road, remember that it might be using a special kind of juice to help keep the air clean!
