摘要：	In light of a changing regulatory and legislative arena, ethanol as a motor fuel has taken on a pivotal role in bringing together often conflicting environmental and energy security interests. Ethanol is produced from biomass (mainly corn) and is mixed with gasoline to produce cleaner-burning fuel called 'gasohol' or 'E10.' Uncertainties about future oxygenate requirements, as both federal and state governments consider changes, have raised concerns among farm and fuel ethanol industry groups and have prompted renewed congressional interest. Without the current regulatory requirements and incentives, or something comparable, much of ethanols market would likely disappear. Ethanol plays a key role in the debate over omnibus energy legislation. This report provides background concerning various aspects of fuel ethanol, and a discussion of the current related policy issues. It will be updated as events warrant.
