Advantage of BioEthanol as an
alternative source of energy
Considered a product of the sun’s energy through photosynthesis
Serves as a renewable and clean alternative for fuel.
Provide enhanced performance and power because of its high-
octane number, low boiling point, greater heat of vaporization, and
equivalent energy content (Sindhu et al., 2019)
Can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% when corn-
based
Produced in dry mills, and range between 88 and 108% when
cellulosic feedstocks are used.
 Bioethanol, an alcohol fuel derived from plant sources,
offers several advantages as an alternative energy source
Advantage compared to traditional fossil fuels:

of Environmental Benefits:

BioEthanol Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Renewable

as an Improved Air Quality

alternative Economic Benefits:

Energy Security
source of Diversification of Energy Sources

energy Practical Benefits:

Compatible with Existing Infrastructure
Biodegradable and Less Toxic
Disadvantage of BioEthanol as an
alternative source of energy
Bioethanol has some downsides as an alternative fuel:

Food vs. Fuel

Land Use
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Lower Energy Density
Higher Production Cost
