Required Tool

Ethanol (formerly known as Biofuel) is a liquid added by Forestry mod.

A combustible liquid produced from refining Biomass with, in order of efficiency, a Distillation Tower (3:1 ratio), a Still (10:3 ratio) or a Refinery (4:1 ratio). It could also be obtained from a Petroleum Propolis. Ethanol is accepted as a fuel by a variety of generators producing RF, MJ or EU.

Energy

Ethanol can be used to power Combustion Engines, providing 5 MJ per tick for 15,000 ticks per bucket. This is only 40% of the energy density of Fuel, but 480% of the energy density of Biomass. Alternatively, Ethanol can be burned in a Liquid Fueled Firebox, generating as much as 290,912 MJ per bucket in the largest boiler at maximum heat. The energy totals for various alternate machines when fueled by ethanol are below.

Engine/Generator	Energy/t	Total Energy
Combustion Engine	4 MJ	60,000 MJ
Compression Dynamo	80 RF	500,000 RF
BioFuel Generator	160 RF	800,000 RF
Bio Generator	16 EU	128,000 EU

Usage

Ethanol has no known uses in crafting.
