Message:


I understand ethanol is used in alocholic beverages and is used 
as an oxidant in fuels, as well as a potential substitute for gas 
as transformed into methanol - are there other direct or indirect 
applications?  For indirect applications, what chemical form must 
be derived from ethanol before being used?
