Missouri Corn Online 

Ethanol is a clean-burning, renewable, domestically produced product made from fermented agricultural products such as corn. Ethanol contains oxygen, which provides a cleaner and more efficient burning fuel. When used in vehicles, ethanol reduces carbon dioxide, a major contributor to global warming. Although burning ethanol still releases carbon dioxide during production and combustion, it is recycled by the crops that produce ethanol. This creates a cycle in which greenhouse gases are used instead of being emitted into the environment.
