While most ethanol comes from corn, Molson Coors' ethanol is produced from waste beer. The ethanol used in DNC vehicles will come from Coors Brewing's brewery in Golden.
"This flex-fuel initiative highlights Colorado's historic status as an energy and beer capital, as well as its reputation for environmental and economic innovation," Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper said in a statement.
Waste beer is the beer that's lost during packaging, or which is considered substandard. Coors is the country's first major brewer to convert waste beer to ethanol, according to the company, and started that business in 1996.
Coors Brewing's Golden plant now produces roughly 3 million gallons of ethanol a year.

The perfect storm that has swept oil prices to $132 a barrel may subside over the coming months as rising crude supply from unexpected corners of the world finally comes on stream, just as the global economic downturn begins to bite.
The forces behind the meteoric price rise this spring are slowly receding. Nigeria has boosted output by 200,000 barrels a day (BPD) this month, making up most of the shortfall caused by rebel attacks on pipelines in April.
