How can grain be used a fuel?
Grain can be used as a fuel primarily through the production of biofuels, such as ethanol. In this process, grains like corn or wheat are fermented to convert their starches into alcohol, which can then be blended with gasoline for use in vehicles. Additionally, grain can be directly burned as biomass to generate heat or electricity. This renewable energy source helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and can contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Is ethanol a fossil fuel?
There seem to be doubts about this as far as production from corn is concerned, but of course if the desired product is vehicle fuel, and you have to use fossil fuels that would not be suitable for vehicle fuel, you still get what you want, even if the effects on global warming are to make it worse. Production from sugar cane seems less energy intensive, but then you can't grow sugar cane in the mid west. In the end people are going to have to decide priorities and my guess is that vehicle fuel will win over environmental damage and loss of food to the rest of the world.

Grain alcohol is ethanol made from fermenting grain. Depending on its intended use, it is sold diluted with a specific amount of water.

Once denatured, it can no longer be made safe to drink by normal means.
