I have had a car running on home-made ethanol, but abandoned the project in
favour of biodiesel, mainly on cost grounds. There is, however, another
aspect of ethanol which disquiets. Most proponents cite the carbon dioxide
released during fermentation as some sort of advantage, saying it

If the CO2 released in fermentation of (say) forestry residues or other ligno
cellulosics for ethanol production, you'd surely have to compare that to
methane released if those materials biodegraded. Methane's a bit more effective
as a greenhouse gas (or so I
