The bioethanol will retail for two pence a litre less than petrol.
The first site will open on a filling station forecourt in Norwich, Norfolk. Four other sites will follow.
“Creating demand for this product will, in the medium to long term, present major opportunities for UK farmers to supply their excess cereals capacity to bioethanol manufacturers,” Morrisons said in a statement.
