The emergence of ethanol as a viable alternative fuel has led to some issues and concerns that can affect decisions in the use of ethanol. The successful introduction of fuel ethanol program in the country requires careful planning. Local economic conditions, available resources and potential end-use of both the ethanol and its by-products should be considered together with th technology on the production and use of ethanol. Adapting the system used by other countries like Brazil in terms of alcohol production and utilization should be observed as well as technological advances and settling issues concerning government policy.
