In spite of significant problems, many are optimistic about the role of biomass for alternative fuels in the future. The U.S. Department of Energy believes that biofuels from nonfood crops and MSW could potentially cut U.S. oil imports by 15 to 20%. Ethanol industry members believe that the capacity for producing that fuel alone could be doubled in a few years and tripled in five years. 

Ethanol is a healthy industry in some parts of the United States and the rest of the world. It is an alternative as an automobile fuel. Brazil has a large ethanol industry, producing about three billion gallons each year from sugar cane.

Diethyl Malonate. 200 kilos of the above powder (sodium malonate can be purchased cheaply without alarming DBA officials. I gave the above formula for do-it-yourselfers) is stirred with 160 kilos of ethanol (industrial spirit) and 500 kilos of benzene in an esterification kettle. About 240 kilos of coned sulfuric acid are added, at such a rate that the temp of this well stirred mixture never exceeds 25° (this will take several hours for a formula this big). The temp is then raised to 60° and maintained for at least 8 hours and then cooled. The top benzene layer is removed and the lower acid layer is extracted with benzene repeatedly. The combined benzene layers are washed free of acid, with dilute sodium hydroxide, and dried over anhydrous sodium carbonate and then distilled under vacuo (20 mm). The fraction boiling at 96-98° is collected as commercially pure diethyl malonate. Yield 85-90% of theoretical. 

The world energy crisis of the 1970s, however, spurred interest once again in ethanol as a transportation fuel source. Brazil adopted the widespread production and use of Alcool, hydrated ethanol, and Gasolina a 78 22 ratio blend of gasoline ethanol as a motor fuel. Other countries developed policies to maintain a fuel grade ethanol industry by conversion of biomass. Also, clean air and reformulated fuel policies have helped to promote the use of ethanol as a viable alternative fuel.

Isolate the pure p-dibromobenzene from the residue in the basin by recrystallisation from hot ethanol with the addition of 1-2 g of decolourising charcoal use about 4 ml of ethanol (industrial spirit) for each gram of material. Filter the hot solution through a fluted filter paper, cool in ice and filter the crystals at the pump. The yield of p-dibromobenzene, m.p. 89 °C, is about 12 g.

Consider the emergence of bioethanol as an instructive example. The federal excise exemption for ethanol plus Clean Air Act regulations has created a 2.5 billion gal/yr ethanol industry. Evidence from Minnesota and Missouri indicates that this has increased the price that farmers are getting for their corn from local ethanol plants by 5-10(2/bushel.7... 

Based on the net revenue maximizing strategy, we conclude that between 1992 and 2001, the raisin industry would have benefited from an ethanol industry in 6 out of 10 yr. The additional net revenue in the beneficial years ranges from 0,689 million dollars in 1992 to 6,686 million in 2000 (Table 5). Preliminary market information from the 2002 harvest suggests that similar benefits might have been generated in that year.

Experience at Indianapolis has proved that methanol (derived from coal) is an excellent fuel for automotive engines. The racers switched to ethanol as their primary fuel in 2006, when the ethanol industry agreed to supply ethanol free of charge.
