How does ethanol reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
Ethanol reduces greenhouse gas emissions by producing less carbon dioxide when burned compared to traditional gasoline. This is because ethanol is made from plants that absorb carbon dioxide during growth, offsetting the emissions produced when it is used as fuel.
What is made from the remains of plants?
Peat is made from the remains of plants that have decayed in waterlogged conditions over thousands of years. It is commonly used as a fuel and in horticulture as a growing medium.
Which fuel is made by fermentation?
ethanol
What do plants produce at the end of anaerobic respiration?
Plants produce ethanol at the end of anaerobic respiration, also known as fermentation. This process helps plants generate energy in the absence of oxygen by breaking down sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
Does whiskey have ethanol in it?
I think alcohol is the general name of the family of: methanol, ethanol, propanol...
What plants are use in ethanol?
gayboy
Which state had the most ethanol manufacturing plants?
Iowa has the most ethanol manufacturing plants in the United States.
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.
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.
How does ethanol reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
Ethanol reduces greenhouse gas emissions by producing less carbon dioxide when burned compared to traditional gasoline. This is because ethanol is made from plants that absorb carbon dioxide during growth, offsetting the emissions produced when it is used as fuel.
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.
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 product can plants that contain sugar and starch be made into?
Plants that contain sugar and starch can be made into a variety of products, including biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. They can also be processed into food products like cereals, bread, and pasta. Additionally, plants with high starch content can be used to produce biodegradable plastics and packaging materials.
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.
