It is also more compatible with existing infrastructure and can be used in existing engines without modification. Biobutanol is also more resistant to water contamination than ethanol, making it a more reliable fuel source. Biobutanol is increasingly being used as a fuel source in the transportation sector, as it is a cleaner burning fuel than gasoline and diesel.
