This form of ethanol would be useful for cracking but not as a burning fuel. I fully support it if they can apply it to fuel cells.
That shouldn't be too difficult to work around, bacteria is quite good at evolving.....

I do agree in regard to fuel cells, they are the future regardless of the energy source be it ethanol, nuclear, coal etc..
