CORN
AS AN ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCE
Main Idea
Renewable energy source
Made from corn and corn waste
Can reduce fossil fuel dependence
Bioethanol
Corn contains starch
Starch → Glucose → Ethanol
Produced through fermentation
Can be used as an alternative fuel
Can be mixed with gasoline
3.Biomass
Uses corn stalks, leaves, and cobs
Agricultural waste becomes useful
Can produce heat and electricity
GREEN CHEMISTRY
Main Idea
Renewable feedstock → corn can be replanted
Waste prevention → corn waste is reused
Energy efficiency → converts biomass into useful energy
Safer processes → fermentation uses biological processes
Less fossil fuel → helps reduce fossil fuel consumption
Advandtages
Renewable
Reduces agricultural waste
Reduces fossil fuel use
Can produce biofuel
Gives additional value to agricultural products
Disadvantages
May compete with food production
Requires land and water
Requires energy for production
Large-scale production can affect the environment
