>>>>It would be nice to see dual use

It's more than nice - it's a fact of the industry. Multiple, viable, economically valuable products come out of the ethanol production process - not just the ethanol.

The wet-milling process:	The dry-milling process:
31.5 pounds of starch	10 one-lb. boxes of cereal
or	and
33 lbs. of sweetner	15 lbs. of brewer grits (enough for 1 gal. of beer)
or	and
2.5 gal. fuel ethanol	10 eight oz. packages of Cheese Curls
and	and
12.4 lbs. of 21% protein feed	1 lb. of pancake mix
and	and
3.0 lbs. of 60% gluten meal	22 lbs. of hominy feed for livestock
and	and
1.5 lbs. of corn oil	0.7 lbs. of corn oil
and	and
17 lbs. of carbon dioxide	17 lbs. of carbon dioxide

The corn oil is used in producing food for human consumption. For example, 1.5 lbs of corn oil from a bushel of corn is equivalent to 2 lbs of margarine. The 21% protein feed is used in making high protein livestock feed. The carbon dioxide is used as a refrigerant, in carbonated beverages, to help vegetable crops to grow more rapidly in greenhouses, and to flush oil wells. Only the starch of the corn (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) is used to make ethanol.

The above is in reference to one bushel of corn...

Good list. Thanks.
