re: #111 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
At Iowa’s latitude, trying to produce ethanol isn’t a winning proposition. Unlike in Brazil, on the equator, who produces ethanol using sugarcane, corn can’t yield enough ethanol precursors using current technology.
There was an effort sell “cellulosic” ethanol to help make more ethanol from corn, using more than just the sugar in the seed.
Well, there are a lot of alpha—carbohydrases used to extract more sugars Tynan normally available in the fermentation of potable and non-potable ethanol production, so strictly what you’re saying isn’t quite right, unless I’m misunderstanding.
