A Text Book on Production of Alcohol

Ethanol is a bio-solar ¿home made¿ fuel usable as a blend with gasoline in present day automobiles without any engine modification. An immediate solution to help meet growing fuel oil scarcity and reduce automobile pollution. Electric cars are a good way to cut down consumption of fossil fuels. But where will the electricity to charge the car batteries come from? This will not reduce carbon emissions. On the other hand, in the case of corn based ethanol plant process atmospheric carbon dioxide turns into carbohydrate through photosynthesis. When car engine burn ethanol as fuel an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide is emitted and process from cultivation to consumption is therefore carbon neutral. Thus government has allowed oil companies to supplies 10% ethanol blended petrol across the country under its ethanol blended programme. By blending 10% ethanol, any country can stands to save 10 billion litres (Approx.) of petrol annually.
