H. I didn't know that butyric acid was bad for the environment,
but I did know that is a component of rancid butter and vomit with a
particular unpleasant odor. I think that alone could prevent use as
fuel (although, to be honest, gasoline and diesel smell pretty nasty
too).

I didn't read through the butanol links carefully, but I know one of the problem with producing it in the past is that butyric acid (the carboxylic acid of the alcohol) is produced. Butyric acid is very bad for the environment. Later,

preliminary cost estimates suggest that we can produce butanol from
corn for about $1.20 per gallon, not including a credit for the
hydrogen produced. This compares with
But there's a limited market for solvent. After you've sold all you
can at $3.70, you have to start selling it cheaper to get into the
fuel market, or not sell any more.

I'm just speculating, but the purity requirements for butanol as a solvent
may be higher than for fuel, requiring extra processing for solvent use.
Considering the comparison with ethanol, I wouldn't be surprised if
typical butanol production processes from say corn also produce small
