Young Innovators: Developing new technology for cheaper biofuel

New University of Saskatchewan chemistry research could pave the way for cheaper gas and booze.   
PhD chemistry student Leila Dehabadi has developed a new way to separate water from ethanol, the key component in alcoholic beverages and biofuel, using starch-based materials such as corn.
The method could reduce costs because it doesn’t involve using additional energy to isolate the ethanol.
“Compared to distillation, this new approach based on green chemistry and engineerin
