Bioethanol is an alcohol, a renewable source of energy type of biofuel derived from (corn, sorghum, and barley), sweet crops (sugarcane, citrus, and sugar beets) and plant materials (switchgrass and wood pulp) collectively known as “biomass” . Processes including growing (months), fermenting (converting biomass into ethanol - microorganisms (e.g., bacteria and yeast) metabolize plant sugars and produce ethanol.) , distilling, and transportation.
grind starch >> enzymes convert into sugar >>fermentation stage, yeast added to convert sugar to ethanol. The leftover mash a very nutritious animal feed Ethanol is a solvent, can wash away dirt.
Cars 1980 plus can handle 10-15% ethanol blends [E10 (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline)] . Or E85 at pump (85% ethanol blend) and requires engine modification. Some vehicles use pure form (E100) 100% ethanol blend. Brazil is the largest producer of bioethanol,
