Corn ethanol is produced by means of ethanol fermentation and distillation. Corn ethanol is mainly used as an oxygenate in gasoline to produce a low-level blend. To a lesser extent, it is used as fuel for E85 flex-fuel vehicles. Corn is the main feedstock used for producing ethanol fuel in the United States

Answer:

Corn Ethanol

Step-by-step explanation:

Corn grains are rich in starch. The starch in corn is easily fermented into ethanol via alcohol fermentation. The ethanol produced by the fermentation is then subjected to distillation. The distilled corn ethanol serves as eco-friendly fuel. Since it is obtained from a living organism (corn plant), corn ethanol is a "biofuel".
