What is Ethanol

What is ethanol? Ethanol is a corn based fuel, developed from fermenting corn mash which produces an alcohol that is then mixed with gasoline. This alcohol substance is 100 percent alcohol and is fairly easy to produce. The corn mash is developed by mashing the corn into a substance that is able to ferment. They have machines that are designed to do this. Then the corn mash is sent to the fermentors where it is turned to alcohol. Then this alcohol is diluted to a level that is acceptable for transport and taken to different plants where it is mixed directly with the gasoline to produce the different mixtures of ethanol. The left over corn bi product is sold to farmers as animal food.
