Ethanol is a grain alcohol that is distilled from corn, sorghum, or other high-sugar plants.
As of February 2006, the annual capacity of the U.S. ethanol sector stood at 4.4 billion gallons and plants under construction or expansion are likely to add another 2.1 billion gallons to this number. If this trend and the existing and anticipated policy incentives in support of ethanol continue, U.S. ethanol production could reach 7 billion gallons in 2010, more than double the amount produced in 2005. |
