Abstract

Increased U.S, production of ethanol could create 28,000-108,000 new jobs by the year 2000. Ethanol distilled chiefly from corn, can be mixed with gasoline to reduce the level of hydrocarbon pollutants created by fuel combustion in gasoline engines. Job gains will be concentrated in the rural Midwest, where most of the Nation’s corn is grown. Small communities elsewhere can benefit through new biomass technologies that can distill ethanol from energy crops, agricultural residues, and organic municipal waste.
