What is ethanol and where does it come from?
Ethanol is ethyl alcohol also known as grain alcohol. It is a psychoactive drug usually found in alcoholic beverages. It is made by "fermenting" the sugars present in starchy crops (such as corn, potatoes, bananas etc), sugar producing crops (such as fruit (grapes etc), sugar beat or sugarcane), or cellulosic plants (like trees or wild grasses). The process of "fermentation" is done in a solution of the sugars by a fungus called "yeast" which, when there is no oxygen present, turns the sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Pure ethanol then has to be separated out of solution by a process called distillation.

bud
Is Brazil known for its large sugarcane crop?

Why is ethanol from sugar cane called biofuel but ethanol from ethene not?
Ethanol from sugarcane is known as a biofuel because the ethanol is derived from a biological, renewable source. Burning this releases recently absorbed carbon dioxide so it is part of the carbon cycle. Ethanol from ethene (or ethylene) is typically produced from fossil fuels, namely petroleum, so it is a non-renewable resource. Burning this releases carbon dioxide that was absorbed millions of years ago, so it is all extra. Burning fossil fuels is causing global warming.
