fuel ethanol
Fuel ethanol: Ethyl alcohol for fuel use that is produced by the fermentation of sugars. Fuel ethanol is denatured with petroleum products (for example, natural gasoline) to render it unfit for human consumption.
Fuel Ethanol Minus Denaturant: An unobserved quantity of anhydrous, biomass-derived, undenatured ethanol for fuel use. The quantity is obtained by subtracting the estimated denaturant volume from fuel ethanol volume. Fuel ethanol minus denaturant is counted as renewable energy, while denaturant is counted as nonrenewable fuel. See Denaturant, Ethanol, Fuel Ethanol, Nonrenewable Fuels, and Oxygenates .
