NOT TO be outdone by its smaller counterparts, oil refiner Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp. is considering selling ethanol-blended gasoline by next year.
Shell chair Edgar Chua said in an interview that the oil firm was now conducting studies on the feasibility of selling ethanol-blended gasoline directly from their pumps.
Ethanol is a good program. Were already doing our studies, looking at the necessary logistics. If we see that we can do it, we can start selling the product by next year, he told the Inquirer.
He said ethanol, because of its chemical composition, should be handled more carefully.
Ethanol required proper handling, he said, particularly if the product would be imported. This could not be placed into contact with water as this could readily absorb water, which could then affect its composition.
Also, ethanol could not be placed in just any ordinary storage tank, he explained, to prevent contact with water or water vapor.
Should Shell start selling ethanol, he said modifications would have to be made on its underground tanks that would be used to store the product and on the pumps that would be used to dispense it.
Also, since there was still no local ethanol supplier, he said Shell would initially have to rely on imported ethanol.
New player Seaoil Petroleum Corp. will start selling gasoline with a 10-percent ethanol blend in 105 service stations nationwide starting next month.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
