Also, about 11% of the nation's sorghum crop was used as a feedstock for ethanol production in ‘04. Grain sorghum is used as a feedstock for ethanol production, mainly in areas on the periphery of the Corn Belt such as Kansas and western Nebraska.

Beattie promises cheaper fuel with ethanol plan
Petrol produced in Queensland will have to contain 5 or 10 per cent ethanol under a scheme unveiled today by Premier Peter Beattie. The Opposition says the Government has failed in previous opportunities to support an ethanol mandate, but Mr Beattie says there are constitutional problems with mandating the sale of ethanol-blended fuel. So he has come up with another idea - forcing oil companies to include it at the production stage in Queensland. He says that way non-ethanol petrol produced elsewhere could still be sold. "We believe that legally we're on good grounds, we believe that because the price of oil is as high as it is petrol and oil companies are not really in a great position to argue with us publicly," he said. Earlier Mr Beattie was ambushed by Nationals MP Rob Messenger as he arrived in Bundaberg for a day of campaigning on water and health.
Make It a Double -- Ethanol
AMES, Iowa -- Now that ethanol has become common in gas tanks, two Iowa State University professors are working to get it into martini glasses. The professors are researching how to easily, and cheaply, turn fuel ethanol into food-grade alcohol to be used in beverages, pharmaceuticals and personal care products. "We will be taking relatively abundant and cheap fuel ethanol, and for a very small amount (of money) adding a lot of value to it," said Jacek Koziel, an assistant professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering. He said the research is focused on perfecting technologies that purify fuel ethanol, a grain alcohol most often made from corn and used as a gasoline additive. Like beverage alcohol, fuel ethanol is yeast-fermented and then distilled.
