Why is ethanol being added to gas?

Ethanol is a product that can be made agriculturally, for corn for example (or many other plants). Gasoline is made from petroleum. So, if you have extra corn and not enough petroleum, you can blend ethanol and gasoline to make gasohol, which extends your supply.

How can ethanol reduce carbon emissions?

Ethanol is a fuel made from plants. When we burn this fuel, it does emit carbon dioxide, but of course this was originally absorbed from the atmosphere by the plants, so there is no net increase in the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide no matter how much ethanol we use (apart from a small amount produced by generating electricity used in the production of the ethanol). A disadvantage of using ethanol for motor fuel is that its production competes with food crops.


What ethanol is it made from?

ehanol is produced with the help of some plants by process of fermentation......but it can also be produced by the help of some raw materials like oil....(but this is not done as producing a renewable source like ehanol from a non-renewable source is not quiet profitable.


The us ethanol is made from what plant?

The plants themselves do not produce any ethanol at all. The plants produce sugars of various types, and then humans use a number of different processes to convert sugars into ethanol (the old fashioned method is simple fermentation with yeast for instance). Which plants allow humans to produce the most ethanol from a given plant depends on what sugars their cells produce and the technology we have to convert that sugar to ethanol. Corn is not the best crop for generating ethanol as it does so fairly inefficiently (it takes a lot of energy to grow and doesn't produce much ethanol). The best plant for making ethanol is sugar beet. Sugar cane is also very good. Really the best way to make ethanol would be from very fast growing plants (the fastest is called switchgrass), but to do that we need to discover how to efficiently convert cellulose into ethanol instead of sugar because these fast growing plants don't make sugar. We don't know how to convert cellulose, but we're working on it in many laboratories around the world!


What is an example of a common bio fuel and how is it typically made?

Alcohol, ethanol, methanol. It's from the fermentation of plants, so it's available anywhere.


What plant is ethanol made of?

There is no plant that is made of ethanol. Ethanol is a biomass energy source made of grains and corn.


How is ethanol found?

ethanol is not "found", it's made by the fermentation process.


What is used to make ethanol for fuel?

Fuel grade ethanol can be made by biological or chemical routes.For biologically based ethanol starches or sugars from plants are fermented under anaerobic conditions and the produced ethanol is distilled to the desirable level of purity.For the chemical process, light gases from petroleum is reacted to create ethane or ethylene and an OH- is substituted for one of the hydrogen's in the alkane or inserted into the double bond to make ethanol.


Which state had the most ethanol manufacturing plants?
