Ethanol Defined

Ethanol, or ethyl alcohol (CH3CH2OH), a colorless liquid with characteristic odor and taste, commonly called grain alcohol or, simply, Alcohol. Ordinary ethanol is about 95% pure, the remaining 5% being water, which can only be removed with difficulty to give pure or absolute ethanol. Ethanol is the alcohol in beer, wine, and liquor, and can be made by the fermentation of sugar or starch. Denatured alcohol, for industrial use, is ethanol with toxic additives. Ethanol is used as a solvent in the manufacture of varnishes and perfumes; as a preservative; in medicines; as a disinfectant; and as a fuel. Ethanol is a soporific; if its presence in the blood exceeds about 5%, death usually occurs. Behavioral changes, impairment of vision, or unconsciousness occur at lower concentrations.

  • Standard Program | Renewable Fuels | US EPA
  • EFuel100, Earth's First Home Ethanol System, a Product of E-Fuel Corporation
  • Candidates' energy policies | The Jakarta Post: Presidential candidate Megawati Soekarnoputri and her running mate Prabowo Subianto have proposed to build geothermal and hydroelectric plants to generate 10,000 MW, to build DME refineries, build 56-MTPA bio-ethanol plants (4 million hectares will be dedicated to growing sugar palms, which will create 24 million jobs). An important lesson from global success stories in developing alternative energies (Brazil with its "Pro-Etha nol" program, South Africa's coal liquefaction, Argentina' ;s CNG, and Japan/Scandina via with their renewables) is that the approach must be integrated, have a long-term vision and definitely requires full government commitment. We are far from meeting these requirements. Certainly Megawati and Prabowo will face challenges in the details and implementation , not just with the bio-methanol ... . Dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) is a promising energy as a substitute for LPG and other fuels.
  • Biomass replacing natural gas at Benson ethanol plant: f you're spending upwards of $1 million per month for natural gas to power your ethanol plant, a serious look at renewable resources such as corn cobs, wood chips, even saw dust (sprayed with glycerin for dust control) to offset this cost seems smart.
