What I meant was *moving* the cellulose supply-line from farm-based
crops to ocean-based crops. "Removing" was a bad choice of words.

The goal was to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 6 percent from 1990
levels by 2008-2010. Bioethanol is a zero net producer of greenhouse
gases such that converting automotive fuels to E10 (10% ethanol, 90%
gasoline) would achieve the goals of Kyoto. And according to the FAQ

it off using distillation. Otherwise all the solar energy that was

When I first became interested in this subject I thought that
distilling the water-alcohol mixture after boiling/fermenting was a
huge waste of energy. I mean, ethanol is supposed to be made from
plant matter which are grown for months under sunlight. It's not
