Corn to Ethanol is just silly.
If the best numbers are 1.25 out its just stupid to even try it.
From what I’ve seen it’s more like a 1 to 1 or less for the full process.
This is a farm subsidy not an energy subsidy.
That number applies to the worst processes out there.
Do you think that none of the ethanol plants recycle any of their water? If you do your mistaken.
Do you think that none of the ethanol plants use advanced distillation techniques? If you do your mistaken.
Do you think that none of the ethanol plants use heat recovery? If you do your mistaken.
Yet the 1.25 number assumes all of the above; no water recycling, no advanced distillation, no heat recovery.
Those numbers are from a group with an agenda - obviously you have joined that group.
