Making Alcohols By Fermentation & From Ethane

The video tutorial covers the uses of alcohols, focusing on ethanol in alcoholic drinks and its production methods. It explains fermentation, where sugars from plants are converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide using yeast. The video also describes an alternative method of producing ethanol from ethene, highlighting the efficiency and drawbacks of each method. The fermentation process is renewable but slower, while the ethene route is faster but relies on nonrenewable resources and requires more energy.

Why is the ethene route considered more efficient than fermentation?

What are the renewable and nonrenewable resources mentioned in the context of ethanol production?
