And from the sugar-rich stems and roots of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum), sweet sorghum (Sorghum vulgare), and sugar beet (Beta vulgaris). Indeed, the basic technology for making ethanol from such crops is centuries old (Lemus and Parrish, 2009). Currently bioethanol is produced commercially by fermentation of sugars derived from corn, sugar cane and sugar beet. , 2008). , 2005). They also have environmental benefits that include reduced soil erosion, enhanced carbon sequestration, and conservation of wildlife habitats (Lemus and Lai, 2005).
