No. No sugar can be refined into ethanol. Sugar is the food for yeast. Yeast eats it and craps ethanol. It is the ethanol that is refined from the products of fermentation.

I wonder how many tanker trucks that is. I can’t get a handle on how much 10 million pounds.

If you like converting $40/gal into $4/gal at a cost of $3/gal.

This will simply be sold back onto the market this fall. No different than if a few hundred truck loads of corn were stolen.
