			Answer from random contributor:

			What is required to distill the alcohol?

			Graphene may be a game changer for many technologies but for ethanol I think it is especially promising as it has the potential to distill ethanol for very little energy cost as it lets water through and pretty much nothing else.

Being able to grow pretty much anywhere with a high cellulose content up to 85 percent and being able to use the oil for biodiesel and/or other purposes it would seem hemp is the best single crop for liquid fuels since Ethanol is probably the best liquid fuel there is.		Ethanol from cellulosic biomass is definitely the preferred way to make ethanol in North America. There are already companies doing this, and, it appears to be the case that hemp has the most potential to do this. Being able to grow pretty much anywhere and being able to grow really fast, with a high cellulose content up to 85 percent and being able to use the oil for biodiesel and/or other purposes it would seem hemp is the best single crop for liquid fuels since Ethanol is probably the best liquid fuel there is.

			==Overview==
	Biofuels - for the temperate climate, alcohol derived from Jerusalem artichokes or waste orchard fruit appears to be the proven, sustainable route of fueling cities. Crop productivity and fuel usage calculations indicate that most cities, worldwide, scale in size in such a fashion that they can produce all their vehicle fuel needs from a land area equivalent to the size of the city - as long as this calculation is not based on the inefficient, though touted, alcohol from corn - but on perennial crops such as Jerusalem artichokes. This would not contribute to the food-or-fuel scenario that detractors of this proposition point out. Key: this is proven technology, and vehicles can run on alcohol with minor modifications. In the tropics, palm oil appears to be the solution for fuel needs, based on yields.

Ethanol protein by-products use and safety.

Line 24:		Line 24:

	A village scale ethanol plant can easily get its DDGS or even wet distillers grains -- the raw beer mash -- back to live stock after ethanol extraction. An optimal means of storing for human consumption is to dry wet distillers grains to 15% moisture content and freeze it for storage in a cold cellar. Don't try to augur DDGS it turns to glue. In the Ethanol boom FDA mandates that demanded augurs destroyed dozens if them and bankrupted some producers. A village can have its fuel and eat it too. This allows most grain and starch crops to be used as fuel and food crops simultaneously. If 50% of the effort is put into managing the protein then these by-products can be over 50% of the profits.
