Ethanol

A material used to make biodiesel. Not suitable for food.

Notes

Ethanol is an industrial intermediate produced from corn or wheat, and it cannot be consumed as food. Its primary uses are crafting biodiesel—a cleaner fuel alternative—and blasting caps for mining operations. When setting up a crop-processing chain, ethanol is a key output to supply fuel and demolition needs.
