Sugarcane is a well-known biofuel source: Brazil has been fermenting sugarcane juice to make alcohol-based fuel for decades. Ethanol from sugarcane yields 25 per cent more energy than the amount used during the production process and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 12 per cent compared to fossil fuels.

Ethanol fuel has been lauded as a viable alternative to petroleum-based fuels, offering not only less pollution to the environment, but also a sustainable source of energy. Interestingly enough, ethanol fuel is made from exactly the same liquid courage that college students use to wash away their sorrows every weekend. Ethanol fuel is an alternative to gasoline, and is manufactured from the conversion of carbon-based feed stocks such as sugarcane, sugar beets, switchgrass, corn, and barley. Ethanol is currently used in gasoline for vehicles. Most vehicles run on mixtures of gas and ethanol; this mixture is common at most gas stations across the country.
