Up to 40 percent of corn production in the United States now goes to ethanol fuel.

Farmers make the fuel by chemically treating corn kernels to isolate the sugars and then feeding the sugars to yeast, which digests them and secretes ethanol.Not only do the corn husks and stalks go to waste, but ethanol production has driven up the price of the corn that is used for food by reducing its availability.

«When you look at what our ethanol production is and compare that against what our demand for transportation fuels is, we won't get there,» says Virginia Lacy, a biofuels consultant at the Rocky Mountain Institute, a nonprofit energy policy organization in Colorado.

Examples of indirect use which require energy harvesting are electricity generation through wind turbines or photovoltaic cells, or production of fuels such as ethanol from biomass.

For starters, our country's system for mandating and subsidizing the production of ethanol has meant that farmers who could be using their land to grow today's food feel economically compelled to grow tomorrow's fuel instead.

@raydowe - The carbon by - product is called carbon dioxide, and if the ethanol is from biological sources the carbon dioxide has in the fuel production stage been captured from the atmosphere, so there are no net carbon dioxide emissions.

«With vehicles that span the spectrum from exotic prototypes to production - based cars and fuels that range from cellulosic E10 and E85 ethanol to clean diesel and hybrids, the Green Challenge is a true benchmark for race teams to compare their engineering capabilities,» said Steve Wesoloski, GM Racing Road Racing Group manager.

«The use of E85 ethanol fuel by America's premier production sports car racing team in a high - profile, high - tech racing series like the ALMS shows that Chevy is continuing to lead by example.»

A better title would have been: «Fueled: The Effects of Using Food for Fuel» or something like that, because the central question of the book is to what degree has using crops to produce biomass for fuel production (usually ethanol) affected the costs of food and fFuel» or something like that, because the central question of the book is to what degree has using crops to produce biomass for fuel production (usually ethanol) affected the costs of food and ffuel production (usually ethanol) affected the costs of food and fuelfuel.

The company they've bought into has a novel approach to producing ethanol that could use virtually any carbon source and would decouple that fuel from corn production, potentially making it possible for cities to produce their own transportation fuel using their own MSW, eliminating some of the need for landfilling and the associated long - tail methane and CO2 releases from same.

«Since 2000, global wind energy generation has more than tripled; solar cell production has risen six-fold; production of fuel ethanol from crops have more than doubled; and biodiesel production has expanded nearly four-fold.

The two scientists calculated all the fuel inputs for ethanol production — from the diesel fuel for the tractor planting the corn, to the fertilizer put in the field, to the energy needed at the processing plant — and found that ethanol is a net energy - loser.

The production of ethanol for fuel in the US uses huge amounts of land, some of which was brought back into production for this purpose, large amounts of energy to the point there is probably a net loss, major water consumption, and little savings in net CO2 emissions (which are plant food anyway.)

The fossil fuel inputs into ethanol production are also largely non-liquid (natural gas and coal).

The other concern is the high degree of embedded (and unsustainable) fossil fuels required for grain ethanol production.

Indeed, the corn - to - ethanol production cycle is so carbon - intensive that a carbon tax applied to its fuel inputs (including natural gas) would internalize much of ethanol's climate cost, obviating somewhat the need for a tax on the end - product.
