Ethanol has many considerations as far as its use as an automotive fuel.\: # On the plus side it is a liquid and easily handled in the present transportation and delivery systems. # On the negative side: * Ethanol from food crops removes food from the system * It requires more energy to produce ethanol than the automobile gets out of the ethanol (Crops require fertilization and fertilizers are made using hydrocarbons, ethanol is made by fermaentation, the fermentation products require distillation, the ethanol is a less efficient fuel than gasoline) * Ethanol combustion creates tail pipe emissions of aldehydes and ketones at levels not present in hydrocarbon fuelled autos * There is not enough land to produce enough ethanol fuel while maintaining food production * Ethanol from waste cellulose is not being pursued asa production route
