The increasing need for cleaner and sustainable energies provoked by the contamination emitted to the atmosphere made by petrol sources had made ethanol an option to reduce those emissions by using a renewable, clean product as vegetable to impulse diesel engines. There are some main advantages of ethanol is that it can be used in existing engines, vehicles and infrastructure with practically no changes. Ethanol can be pumped, stored and burned just like gasoline, and can be used pure, or in blends with gasoline fuel in already tested blend mixtures. Power and fuel economy using ethanol is practically identical to gasoline, but with the added benefit of emitting less contamination and byproducts that can be used as livestock feed. In this book we will try to expose the chemistry behind the processing of vegetable sugars (waste or clean), the equipment, safety measures and set up for the area to process a batch of ethanol at home.

Alcohol has a proud history. Gasoline is a refinery ́s toxic waste; alcohol fuel is liquid sunshine. Henry Ford ́s early cars were all flex-fuel. It wasn ́t until magnate John D. Rockefeller funded prohibition that alcohol fuel companies where driven out of business. Alcohol production brings many new small-scale business opportunities. There is huge potential for profitable local, integrated, small-scale businesses that produce alcohol and related byproducts, whereas when gas was cheap, alcohol plants had to be huge to make a profit. In this book we will try to expose the chemistry behind the processing of vegetable sugars (waste or clean), the equipment, safety measures and set up for the area to process a batch of ethanol at home.

There is a lot of different fuel you can make use, but the fact that you are reading this reveals your interest in ethanol as a fuel. In the world today, petroleum, solar, biodiesel are the common fuel people use today. Others may be considering ethanol because of its benefit to replace other fuel in cars, generators, tractor, or to power farm equipment or home. The majority of people who read this book to the end will likely have learned a lot about ethanol, such include; history of ethanol, how to produce ethanol at home, uses of ethanol, application of ethanol and so on. Ethanol has a long history, certainly as a beverage but also as a fuel which only comes to use in the 19th century for lighting. The path of ethanol from a light source to fuel, an additive for pure air testing and bridging technology enable us to move into an oil-free era which is exciting. The story is full of political issues, the effects of wars, industrial espionage and the pure energy of a popular movement. The most important story, however, is the fact that a full litany of common carbohydrates, not just food crops, but also agricultural slaughter, food waste, and plants that are normally bothersome, can actually become a viable fuel that is effectively distributed or produced. According to the approach adopted for the production of ethanol, it is entirely possible to maintain a fully autonomous, self-sustaining and environmentally responsible operation that produces not only fuel but also valuable by-products that can be sold, replaced, or recycled. In this way, ethanol has real advantages over other renewable fuels because it does not need many processes. Releasing unpredictable changes in traditional commodity markets can be a real advantage in long-term planning, insurance, and peace of mind.

Dwindling petroleum supplies and growing environmental concerns are significantly impacting the cost of petro-fuel and its infrastructure. The search for alternative fuel sources has led to ethanol, a gasoline substitute that is already in the marketplace as Gasohol and E-85. But large-scale production of corn-based ethanol is controversial as it threatens the world’s food supply. There are alternatives, however: Brazil uses sugar cane, which is up to six times more productive in energy conversion. After the energy crisis of the 1970s, there was a lot of misinformation about the cost of individual ethanol production. In order to achieve energy independence from gasoline, ethanol lends itself to small-scale production, and especially to cooperative ventures in rural communities, often using “waste” feedstock. Alcohol Fuel is a practical, grassroots book that will give readers all the information they need, covering every aspect of making and using ethanol for fuel, including: *Permitting and planning *Budgeting and setup *Sourcing feedstocks *Finding and building distillation equipment *Storage and safety *Practical applications for converting motor vehicles, farm equipment, and space-heating systems The practical, user-friendly information on basic equipment needs, fermentation recipes, and distillation designs will be of interest to readers looking for information, as well as to those ready to make the switch. Richard Freudenberger was research director of Mother Earth News, where he managed the Alcohol Fuel Program and developed solar and renewable solar and energy projects. He is publisher and technical editor of BackHome magazine and lives in Hendersonville, North Carolina.

This text on small-scale ethanol production is for use at the junior college or community college level, for a continuing education course, or for an intensive short course. It provides for those considering small-scale ethanol production: 1) a starting point to incorporate ethanol production into farming operations, 2) information that investors and financiers can use to evaluate prospects for particular ethanol production ventures, and 3) some yardsticks to assess the profitability of incorporating ethanol production into operations. Fundamental principles are the main emphasis. Although underlying theory is presented, the information is carefully selected for its direct practical value.
