6. Corn-based ethanol (nearly 200 proof moonshine or
100% ethanol) is one of the few currently commercially
available biofuels you can buy for vehicle in S.A
An ethanol molecule part of many other things too
Wine
Beer
Whiskey
And ethanol can be made from many things, not just corn, but more

9. Why replace fossil fuel oil with advanced
transportation biofuel is important?
Virtually no oil is used to produce electricity in S.A only coal, windmills and solar
can produce electricity but cannot power jet airplanes.
