This is bound to negatively impact the market. Companies are increasingly producing ethanol from corn and sugar in the ethyl alcohol market. Ethanol is produced from corn by dry milling process. In this process, corn kernel is prepared into flour or mash, which is then mixed with water. It is purified through distillation and dehydration to create ethanol. The rising demand for liquid fuels in the transportation industry, global rising demand for oil, and negative consequences of global warming have contributed to the increased use of corn-based sugar to produce ethanol, thereby reducing global warming gases. It can be used in many of today's passenger cars and trucks as a substitute for burning gasoline. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) predicts that during the 2020-21 crop season, 5.2 billion hectares of corn will go to ethanol generation, up 250 million hectares compared to the approximate amount of corn which moved to ethanol processing during the 2019-20 crop season. Additionally, the U.S and Brazil produce 85% of the global ethanol from corn. Production of ethanol from corn helps in reducing greenhouse gases by 18% and production of ethanol from sugar helps in reducing greenhouse gases by 90%. Production of ethanol from corn and sugar offers several advantages such as reduced greenhouse gases and decreases the dependency of foreign oil.
