of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Therefore, the CO
2
from the fermentation is

2
released by the fermentation is bal-
anced by CO
2
removed from the atmosphere in making the corn sugar. [Note: The
same is true for the fermentation of any biomass.] Likewise, each atom of C in the
CO
2
produced by combustion of ethanol is also carbon neutral.
2. Calculate the total amount of CO

released
per MJ (LHV) of ethanol made from corn and combusted. The ...
