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.


Is wheat renewable or non renewable?

Wheat is renewable - you can plant seeds and get a crop of wheat each year.


What type of fuel is ethanol?

Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is a fuel made by fermentation or the substitution of ethylene. It is described as a "biofuel" by proponents when it is made from corn, grain, sugar or cellulose, it can also be made by industrial process as a by-product or major product.


Where does ethanol alcohol come from geographically?

Ethanol alcohol is produced worldwide, but major sources include the United States, Brazil, and Europe. In the United States and Brazil, ethanol is commonly produced from corn and sugarcane, respectively. In Europe, ethanol is often made from grains like wheat and barley.


How is ethanol made from wheat?

The wheat, corn, rice, barley, or oats needs to be crushed, mixed with water and yeast and kept warm while the yeast digests the sugars. The resulting fermented mixture is then distilled by boiling off the alcohol into a vapor and re-condensing the alcohol in a separate container. It can be burned or consumed at that point, but all you have is straight ethyl alcohol (vodka). It can be flavored and aged to make gin, bourbon, whiskey, or scotch. Most rum is still made using sugarcane and molasses, while tequila is made from the agave cactus. Beer is made using the same ingredients with the addition of hops, but the resulting mixture is filtered and served without being distilled. Wine is made from grapes which are crushed for their juice and then fermented, filtered, and aged. Cognac is made by distilling and aging wine.

Is rubbing alcohol made of non renewable resources?

Rubbing alcohol, typically isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, is primarily derived from petroleum, which is a non-renewable resource. However, ethanol can also be produced from renewable sources such as corn or sugarcane through fermentation. Therefore, while some forms of rubbing alcohol are made from non-renewable resources, others can be derived from renewable materials. The specific source depends on the production method used.


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.
