Ethanol is a compound added by various mods.

Forestry[]

As added by Forestry

Ethanol is a liquid that produces 5 MJ/t for 40,000 ticks when consumed in a Combustion Engine. Ethanol is produced by refining Biomass in a Refinery, or distilling it in a Still.

Older versions of mod packs may refer to Ethanol as Biofuel. The two are virtually the same, however Biofuel may not be used in a Biogas Engine.

Ethanol can also be used in Railcraft's Liquid Fueled Firebox for Steam Boilers. Each bucket of Ethanol produces 32k heat for the Steam Boiler.

Ethanol vs Fuel[]

Ethanol is very similar to BuildCraft's Fuel, in that both are refined from another fuel source. However, as Ethanol is produced from Biomass, it is a lot easier to create sustainable Ethanol production than it is to produce sustainable Fuel production.

Ethanol is a less efficient energy source than Fuel. Ethanol produces 4 MJ/t for 40,000 ticks, whilst Fuel creates 6 MJ/t for 100,000 ticks. This makes Ethanol approximately 30% of the efficiency of Fuel

Ethanol is also much more efficient than Industrialcraft's Biofuel.

Fuel Output[]

Combustion Engine 120,000 MJ 4 MJ/t

Bio Generator 128,000 EU 32 EU/t
