Brazil produces their fuel alcohol from sugar cane and burn the left overs (it is called bigass which includes the stalk, leaves, etc) to produce the energy for the distillation process. This is the way they have been able to improve the efficiency of their process. Producing alcohol from sugar cane is also much more efficient than making it from corn.
