After the corn is harvested, the kernels are ground into corn meal and water added to make a mash. Enzymes convert the starch in the mash to sugar, which can then be fermented to ethanol. Corn is the key raw material in biofuel production in the US and by far the biggest cost component for an ethanol plant.
