  1. Fermentation – Advantages

    It uses low energy compared to other methods, so it’s cheaper and more sustainable.

    It uses renewable raw materials like sugar from plants, so it won’t run out.

    Fermentation – Disadvantages

    The ethanol made is impure, so it needs to be purified before use.

    The reaction is slow, so it takes longer to produce large amounts.
