For a while now I have had it in my mind that I should produce ethanol in my

Hello Bruce
You could check where is your local Vegetal Oil Refinery or the nearest
Oilseed Crushing Mill and if they are during the harvest season of whatever
oilseed they crush, you will have a good chance to get SVO directly from a

country and they have very large incentives
