Ethanol Biofuel

Ethanol biofuel is a renewable energy source made primarily from plants, especially corn and sugarcane. It is produced through fermentation, where sugars in the plants are converted into alcohol. Ethanol can be mixed with gasoline to power vehicles, reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional fossil fuels. As a cleaner alternative, it helps decrease our reliance on oil while supporting agricultural economies. However, production can compete with food supplies and affect land use, which are important considerations in debates about its sustainability and environmental impact.
