Maize For Fuel
Maize is widely used for biofuels, especially ethanol, by fermentation to produce alcohol. Ethanol is often blended with gasoline to reduce fossil fuel reliance. Governments sought renewable alternatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy security in the early 2000s, leading to the rise of maize as a fuel source.
In the US, the leading maize ethanol producer, nearly 40% of the annual corn harvest goes into ethanol production.

Maize-based fuel lowers carbon emissions compared to pure petroleum. Blended with gasoline, ethanol reduces harmful pollutants and improves vehicle cleanliness. Maize is a domestically grown crop in several countries, reducing dependence on imported oil.
Farmers benefit from the increased market for maize, stabilising prices in a competitive agricultural industry.
