}}In Nuclear Tech Mod, Ethanol is a fluid used in the production of Biofuel and also Engine Lubricant, other than that, nothing. Maybe in the future Ethanol might have a use for alcoholic purposes (?).

Ethanol is a light-blueish flammable, combustible and polluting fluid, having 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 processes to the production of this fluid are quite almost the same, since it's mostly a product acquired from fermentation in real life, so in the mod, it is basically a few processes that lead to the production of Ethanol.

Production

The production of Ethanol uses 3 different machines in the mod, those being the Chemical Plant, the Industrial Liquefaction Machine and the Combination Oven. Firstly let's have a look at the Chemical Plant way of producing Ethanol:

Chemical Plant

Inputs	Recipe
Chemistry Template: Ethanol Production Production Time: 2.5 seconds Input: Sugar	10 1,000mB

Secondly, at the Industrial Liquefaction Machine:

• 1 Mustard Willow > 50mB Ethanol
• 1 Sugar > 100mB Ethanol
• 1 Hemp > 150mB Ethanol

And lastly, on the Combination Oven:

• 1 Sugar Canes > 2 Sugar, 50mB Ethanol

Uses

As stated before, Ethanol doesn't have uses apart from producing Biofuel and Engine Lubricant, in the Biofuel Production, a Chemical Plant is used, and for the Engine Lubricant, a Industrial Mixer is used. Firstly a look in the Biofuel production from Ethanol:
