When you think of ethanol, you probably think of corn: at least in America, where corn ethanol has become a common addition to everyone's gas tank.

Anthony, Amy, and Karthik discuss the economics of ethanol, long term opportunities in sustainable aviation fuel and chemicals, the challenges with water, and more.
