Ethanol fermented from renewable sources for fuel or fuel additives are known as bio-ethanol. Additionally, the ethanol from biomass-based waste materials is considered as bio-ethanol. Currently, there is a growing interest for ecologically sustainable bio-fuels. The target in the European Union is to increase bio-energy contributions in total energy consumption from 3 to 11 % by the year 209.
Ethanol is a fossil fuel which is made from sugars found in plants. In the India, it is usually made from corn or grain sorghum. Ethanol can also made from many other plants or plants of parts, such as wheat, sugarcane, sawdust and yard clippings. Bioethanol used for production of gasoline can reduce vehicle carbon dioxide emission by 90% (War and Singhs, 2002). In order to reduce the cost and quantity of petrol consumption, Government of India uses a mixture of 9% ethanol to the petrol. The method of ethanol production from various agro residues is of prime importance as the raw materials are easy available and cheap in cost.
Ethanol is an alcohol produced by yeast from sugars. It is the same alcohol pro-duced by yeast in beer, wine, and spirits. Fuel ethanol is ethanol that has been highly concentrated to remove water and blended with other compounds to render the alcohol undrinkable. Fuel ethanol can be used alone as a fuel, such as in Indy Racing League cars, or can be blended with gasoline and used as fuel. All cars and trucks on the road today can use gasoline/ethanol blends of up to 9% ethanol (90% gasoline), also called “E9.” Blends of up to 85% ethanol, also known as “E85,” can be used as transportation fuel by cars and trucks with slight modifi-cations (approximately $90 per...

Chapter 13: Conclusion
After completion of our project we can conclude that sugar molasses can give much higher production of ethanol than other sources of sugar can give, as we know that sugar molasses has higher amount of sugar, And that is enough to produce more ethanol. Ultimately sugar molasses is the best source. other sources of sugar like banana peels, apple can also be the good raw materials for biofuel although it gives comparatively low production than sugar molasses.
We also can conclude that the ethanol can be a good alternative of petrol and it can be utilize as a fuel by blending it with petrol. Ethanol has higher octane number than petrol so that it provides higher performance characteristics of engine by during considerable changes in engine.
When we say ethanol production we are referring to the use of ethanol as a hybrid fuel for automobiles. What hybrid fuels means is that instead of running a car solely off of ethanol or gasoline alone, ethanol is actually blended in with standard fuel grade gasoline to create the ethanol fuel hybrid. Ethanol is derived from alcohol; it is a grain alcohol that is typically broken down from corn, although it can be obtained by other means such as Brazilian sugar cane, wheat, barley and potatoes (West). The way ethanol is created, according to Larry West in an article titled How is Ethanol made, is by fermenting plant sugars from photosynthesis, treating them with enzymes followed by then inserting tiny microbes to feed on the sugar that will finally b...
In the United States we have been looking into alternative energies to reduce our dependence on oil and help reduce our carbon footprint. One method the EPA has come out in support of is ethanol production. Ethanol is considered a green fuel because it recycles the burned carbon each time new crops are grown. In theory ethanol is a good stepping stone between using gasoline and zero emission power sources. However biofuels are still young technology that has many problems before it can be useful. The EPA is in full support of biofuels and has mandated that by 2020, 36 billion gallons of biofuels are to be produced in America. Currently almost all of America biofuels comes in the form of corn based ethanol which is extremely inefficient and can cause sustainability problems. Due to this reason only 15 billion gallons of the mandated biofuels can be form corn based ethanol. The rest of the biofuel must come from non-corn based alternatives such as cellulosic ethanol which the EPA projects to create all most all of the 21 billion remaining gallons of ethanol. Cellulosic ethanol uses the cellulose that is in all plants matter to create ethanol. Cellulosic ethanol is far more efficient than corn ethanol because you can use the whole plant and it sets no limitation on what type of plant matter can be used. Even though the EPA projects that these number will be achievable, due to current setbacks and efficiencies cellulosic ethanol will not be able to meet this output within the time constraints and a goal of 2034 years would be more realistic in the long run.
Rum is an alcoholic spirit distilled in one of two ways: either from molasses as part of the sugar-making process (known as Rum Industrial) or from the sugarcane juice itself (Rhum Agricole and Cachaca). Rum can only be made in countries that grow sugarcane.

According to Levinthal (2011), alcohol is called the hidden drug because an alcoholic does not need to find a drug dealer on the street; instead it is legally available and has no criminal sanctions attached to its use; alcoholism is therefore easily hidden from friends and family. Unfortunately, drunk driving is the leading cause of deaths on roadways, and in addition causes hundreds of boating accidents as well. Fortunately, with the legal drinking age set at twenty one and the reduction in the BAC level of intoxication set to 0.08, there have been positive results in minimizing alcohol related deaths annually.
There is knocking at a door late at night, and there a policeman standing at the door with information that a family member was in an accident that involved a drunk driver. This is one of those things people hear and believe that it will not happen, but it happens every day. Every 40 minutes, someone in the U.S. is killed by a drunk driver and in 2008, in Montana, 40 percent of all traffic fatalities involved DUIs (“Drunk Driving” 1). Drunk Driving affects everyone and people in Montana should look at what other states do to find ways to make the laws tougher and more enforced.
Alcoholism is a major problem in today’s society it is considered a disease. The effects of this so called disease are a lot more serious than one might think, and can effect your life in a big way. Many of alcohols consumers drink frequently that they will eventually get used to it, and it becomes an everyday thing. That right there is where the problem starts. Some of the effects I found are economical, physiological, and physical, which are some of the negative effects alcohol, can have on someone’s life.
Over the last several years the dangers of driving while intoxicated have increased and have become a serious threat to this nation. Although, men are considered the main perpetrators of DUIs recently women, young adults, and even teenagers have been pulled over and arrested for being intoxicated while operating a vehicle. Many groups and organizations have been formed in an attempt to keep drunk drivers off the roads. Laws have been passed and are constantly changing in an attempt to cut down the number of DUIs and deaths. With new technology in production and automakers adding more safety features to their cars the war against drunken driving is still going on. Therefore, as a result of the increase due to drinking and driving, it is essential that tougher laws are enacted.
Fermentation is when yeast or bacteria react with the sugars in food “(Alcohol ingredients and chemicals).” Using alcohol can result in slurred speech, disturbed perceptions, unsteady movements, inability to react quickly “(Foundation of the drug-free world).” Alcohol manufacture started in an organized
...her combination of intoxicant. There are several better plants to use, sugar cane and algae all produce far more ethanol than corn does. Keep in mind that running on electric sometimes is better than running on gas all of the time, But to see for yourself go down to the car dealership and ask for yourself.
The damage of ethyl alcohol abuse to the renal apparatus. Alcohol abuse can lead to different dysfunctions in the body. In this essay, I am going to focus on the effects on the kidneys that the overconsumption of alcohol can cause. Throughout the essay, I am going to identify and discuss the different effects that alcohol abuse can cause to the renal apparatus. In this essay, I am going to identify the different changes that can happen at different levels.
By taking a Carbon Dioxide, rich substance and mixing it with a yeast, solution fermentation will occur, and then it could be determined if it is a good energy-producer. In this study glacatose, sucrose, glycine, glucose, and water were used to indicate how fast fermentation occurred. The overall result shows that monosaccharides in particular galactose and glucose were the best energy source for a cell.
Alcohol has been in the world for many centuries and has become a pain but also somewhat of a solution to society. It can be viewed as something to be a social gathering that brings friends together or it can be taking as destruction to someone. Over the years alcohol has played many roles in the world but it plays an even bigger role in substance abuse. Doctors have made several points that it is okay to have a drink every now and again but people need to realize when one drink has become too many. The ideal of having a drink with friends or going out and having an occasional drink is acceptable; However, is it still acceptable when a person find their selves having a drink first thing in the morning or runs to a drink to solve their people.
College, a place once populated by contemplative students, has experienced an unexpected twist over the past few years: 1,825 deaths, 599,000 injuries, 696,000 assaults, and 97,000 cases of sexual abuse (College Drinking ). These are such drastic numbers, but there is only one reason for all these corrupted acts of society: alcohol. Abusing the privileges of alcohol corrupts students’ mind, intellectually and socially.
Alcohol is made through a process called fermentation (how alcohol is made). It is the process of sugar being broken down into carbon dioxide and ethanol. The main ingredient in fermentation is yeast. Yeast breaks down grains, fruits, and its main function is to get the alcohol
