Rapid growth in fuel ethanol production in the U.S. will create pressure on infrastructure both in the near term and … the longer term. Currently the vast majority of fuel ethanol produced is grain based with corn based feedstocks dwarfing … the quantity of all other grain feedstocks. In the future it is expected that biomass based ethanol production will also …
