Ethanol is a biofuel produced from vegetable matter. When the crop grows, it removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When the biofuel is burnt, that same carbon dioxide is released. So ethanol, basically, is carbon-neutral and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.

How do every day people contribute to the greenhouse effect?
People contribute daily to greenhouse effect. They do by littering and wasting etc.
What effect does carbon dioxide contribute to?
The Greenhouse effect.
How does carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses contribute the greenhouse effect?
it contributes by creating a lot of them that is why they make the greenhouse effect
How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
Why is ethanol a greenhouse gas?
Ethanol is a liquid at normal ambient temperatures and is not a greenhouse gas. However, when ethanol is used as a fuel in a vehicle, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is emitted. CO2 is considered a greenhouse gas in that as it builds up in the atmosphere, it has the same effect as the glass roof of a greenhouse. It allows energy from the sun to enter the earth's atmosphere but prevents some of it from being re-emitted back into space. The net effect is that the temperature begins to rise, just as in a greenhouse.
Do cooking fuels contribute to the green house effect?
The only fuels that contribute to the greenhouse effect are fossil fuels. So, using coal, coke, petroleum oil, gas or peat for cooking does contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming, but using wood, biofuels and other renewable resources does not.
Does paraffin contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Yes, paraffin is produced from petroleum, a fossil fuel. It contains carbon dioxide from millions of years ago, so when it is burnt it adds to the normal greenhouse effect which has become overwhelmed by all the extra carbon dioxide. The normal greenhouse effect is now warming into the accelerated greenhouse effect.
Is dyhdrogen monoxide dangerous for the environment?
Yes, it is a toxic gas and also contribute to the greenhouse effect.
How greenhouse effect contribute in increasing sea level?
It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise
How does long wavelength radiation contribute to the greenhouse effect?
The trapping by the greenhouse gases of the long wavelength radiation (infrared) leads to more heating and a higher resultant temperature.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
Greenhouse Effect
Why does concrete contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Concrete is made from cement, and the manufacture of cement releases carbon dioxide that had been sequestered underground for millions of years. Since the greenhouse effect is the result of atmospheric greenhouse gases, principally carbon dioxide, retaining heat, any increase in the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse effect and therefore to global warming. Because it is made from cement, concrete is an important contributor to the greenhouse effect.
