1. What is ethanol? And how is it created? By definition, ethanol is basically alcohol. It is created by distilling, or cooking sugars or starches.
   Commonly, there are two feed stocks that are used to make ethanol, dry or wet grains. As an example corn is a dry grain and is a starch, water is added with enzymes and allowed to ferment into sugar. By cooking this fluid it produces steam as, it rises, alcohol runs off and is stored. Another feed stock, that we at Global Renewable Energy have been testing, is sweet sorghum. It is already a sugar, no water is needed, it is fermented with yeast and the same procedure used in distillation.
2. What will ethanol do for us? A couple things, by growing a feedstock to produce ethanol we will be removing CO2 from our atmosphere.
   But more importantly we will be able to start replacing the fossil fuels that are being used in industry and transportation.
3. What does the use of ethanol mean for our future? As an alternative source of energy, ethanol will help provide for a cleaner environment, as it burns much cleaner then petroleum products. It will help in the reduction of global warming. It will help reduce our dependency not only on foreign oil imports, but on oil itself. As America grows vegetation for the production of fuels, the environment will continue to benefit and farms will become more productive. As an example, Florida citrus growers are experiencing the loose of crop, production and income to concur and greening disease. Being able to grow a sustainable alternative crop for the production of ethanol will help them maintain the productivity and be a boost to local economic development, with the growth of a new industry. Basically it will keep farmers farming and keep America green.
