Ethanol Gas Make
How many gallons of ethanol can be made from a bushel of corn? With today's technology, one bushel of corn yields 2.8 gallons of ethanol. And that number is constantly increasing. Just a few years ago, that number was closer to 2.5 gallons per bushel of corn.

Now, sugarcane for fuel
NEW DELHI: Oilfields and coal mines are passe. India is now poised to make a go at acquiring sugarcane acreages overseas in search of energy security.
The idea is to put in place an assured supply of ethanol, a byproduct of the sugar industry that is mixed with petrol to produce swadeshi fuel or 'gasohol'. Progressive use of this fuel will reduce the country's oil bill by reducing dependance on imported crude.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is expected to flag the issue of Indian state-owned oil firms acquiring sugarcane fields in Brazil during his visit later this month. Brazil is the largest sugarcane producer in the world and global leader in gasohol usage.
It allows foreign ownership of sugarcane acreages which are rain-fed and require little irrigation.
Will alternative auto power make sense in '07?
More than in any previous model year, 2007 will signal a time when consumers will have more choices regarding fuel efficiency in their new car than just selecting a four, six or eight-cylinder engine. Will it be the year you buy a gas-electric hybrid car, one that will run on ethanol or perhaps a sedan with a diesel engine? Not surprisingly, finding the vehicle that saves fuel and makes economic sense in the long run will require a buyer to do a lot of homework. High gas prices have made fuel economy a major concern of many buyers, but tax-law changes, cost-trimming efforts by some businesses and other factors have created often confusing choices. Are you considering a hybrid because of big tax breaks that go along with the purchase? While that's true for some hybrid vehicles, others qualify for very modest tax breaks and not too far into the 2007 model year, the tax breaks for some of the most popular and fuel-efficient vehicles are likely to vanish.
Ethanol ProcurementFor Blending With Petrol: OMCs Commence ...
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Shri Murli Deora has directed Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) for early implementation of the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme on a national scale. In this connection, the process of procurement of ethanol by the OMCs through national competitive bidding has commenced as OMCs have begun issuing public notice for procurement of indigenous anhydrous ethanol in different States.
With this the stage is set for taking up the national programme for blending 5% ethanol with petrol countrywide except North East, J&K, Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar Islands, w.e.f. 1st November 2006. Earlier, the 5% ethanol blended programme (EBP) was started in nine sugarcane growing States and contiguous Union Territories (UTs) in 2003. This however did not make substantial headway for a number of reasons viz decline in sugarcane production, restrictions on interstate movement of ethanol and the backing out by suppliers, etc.
