Still technology meets the 21st century....the moonshiners are gonna have some competition.

Actually I could easily see how some alcohol beverage companies may want to leverage this to reduce process costs and better control alcohol content. Then it would just be a matter of how to appropriately ‘flavor’ it.

Perhaps they can put it in a sealed room with an engine burning ethanol and create a perpetual motion machine

There is irony here

I visited the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg Tennessee. As an ethanol producer, they ferment mash to ethanol releasing large amounts of CO2.

Part of the tour includes some info that the black coloration of trees and certain structures is the result of bacterial growth that thrives on the abundant CO2 in the proximity atmosphere.

It would seem that the distillery could capture the abundant CO2 emissions and create vodka as a distillation by product.

Well, they could brew/distill flavorful spirits, concentrating on the character, and then just add the "kick" afterwards.

Just like at the pump: Yes sir, would you like the Jack Daniels regular or the high-test?
