Fuel ethanol (starch)

Benefits of fuel ethanol

Starch-based bioethanol is derived from crops such as corn and wheat, and is more efficient, sustainable, and eco-friendly than fossil fuels. Fuel ethanol benefits people everywhere by:

• Reducing our dependence on petroleum 
• Decreasing harmful gases and other waste products
• Minimizing use of finite natural resources
• Providing farmers with greater value from their crops
