How is bioethanol produced?
Bioethanol is an alcohol distilled commercially from grain, cellulose or sugar cane. It has been produced from sugar cane for many years in Brazil and also from corn in the mid-west of the United States. In Sweden, it is produced from wood pulp and forest residues. Feasibility studies for producing bioethanol from lignocellulose materials are currently underway. See our About Bioethanol section for further details.
