What if we could do more with ethanol than just fuel our cars?
In this episode, we explore the power of ethanol—how it's made, why it matters, and where it’s headed. Ethanol is made from corn and used as a cleaner-burning fuel, but it can also help create other everyday products without relying on petroleum.
We break down how the U.S. is already using existing ethanol infrastructure to do more than just fuel vehicles—from clothing materials to super-absorbent products. We also touch on how other countries, like Japan, are showing more interest in ethanol and sustainable aviation fuel.
You’ll hear how most vehicles today can already handle higher blends of ethanol, and how new policies like the Next Generation Fuels Act could lead to even better fuel options that reduce emissions and improve engine performance.
Whether you're a farmer, driver, or just interested in clean energy, this episode shows why ethanol is a smart step toward a low-carbon future.
