In now a day’s the global demand for the fossil fuels are rapidly increasing due to the high prices remains same in the gasoline. These all increase the concerns about the climate changes and alternatively increase in the oil based industry to prepare for the alternate biofuels. As we know the biofuels are the potential revenue source and we can control the climate change, weather conditions by using the replacement of gasoline in motor vehicles. Now people are using the corn based ethanol as the replacement of gasoline in some states in U.S. CORN BASED ETHANOL The corn based ethanol is defined as, it is produced by means of distillation and ethanol fermentation. Corn ethanol is used as a biomass in the replacement of gasoline

of corn, which would use up to a vast variety of land for the production. Based on our analysis, it would take about 4.9 trillion lbs. of corn to produce enough corn to convert all the gasoline in the United States to e85 which takes up 188,700,000 hectares of land, or approximately ten more states the size of Illinois. However, we can see that the current amount of ethanol that we used is not efficient. The production of ethanol directly benefits the agricultural lands that leads to the economic development. The ethanol is primarily made of corn it would increase the amount of money farmers receive from the corn. Over the past decade, farmer-owned and locally-owned ethanol plants have driven the dramatic growth in the U.S. ethanol industry. Although many different private companies are currently producing ethanol, at least 22 percent of the industry is still owned by local owners and farmers. Due to the ethanol industry in the united states there is an increase in the demand of corn that has played a significant role in raising prices of corn. Independent studies that have analysed the prices of corn around areas with an ethanol plant has shown that the local price of corn increases by at least 5-10 per bushel in the area around an ethanol plant, evidence of ethanol significantly adding to the farmer’s income within that area. Due to increase in the production of these biofuel there is an increase in the jobs for the people in the various fields such as agriculture, research and development. However, a wide number of jobs would be in support to the crop production ranging from managers to equipment operators to produce ethanol production. The impact is directly spending by the ethanol industry throughout the economy. There is a huge impact of the employment opportunities expands significantly it spread over many
