Michigan sets sights on ethanol to become an energy hotbed
State ramps up output of the automotive fuel
Nearly 100 years ago, Henry Ford proclaimed that ethanol would be the automotive fuel of the future.
The maker of the Model T and father of the modern automobile industry used a blend of ethanol and gasoline to power the car that put America on wheels. Ethanol is a grain alcohol produced from crops such as corn and soy.
A century later, ethanol remains an alternative energy source that has yet to capture the attention of the driving public or effectively compete with gasoline as a transportation fuel.
Gas prices are fast approaching $3 a gallon, which has ethanol producers in Michigan ramping up production in hopes of commanding a greater chunk of the state’s energy portfolio.
