Ethanol is a light-blueish flammable, combustible and polluting fluid, that has a high fuel grade, providing 275.0kTU and 687.0kHE per bucket, so it can be technically used as a less powerful alternative to diesel. The production of this fuel primarily involves sugar or other plants, which is reminiscent to how it's produced in real life.

Production

Ethanol can be produced with 3 different machines in the mod, those being the chemical plant, the industrial liquefaction machine and the combination oven. Firstly, in the chemical plant:

Secondly, in the industrial liquefaction machine:

Uses

Ethanol is used to produce biofuel and engine lubricant; the former uses a chemical plant, while the latter uses an industrial mixer. In the chemical plant:

Ethanol can also be used alongside hydrogen peroxide as rocket fuel for tier 1 missiles.
