Abundant Ethanol Supply For Frequent Hand Sanitizer Usage

• https://www.nextbigfuture.com, by Brian Wang

There are fewer supply chain issues for the wide-scale adoption of WHO local production plans for developing countries and scaling sanitizer production in the developed world. If Ethanol is denatured it is good as the key sanitizer ingredient.

Tereos, one of the largest producers of bioethanol alcohol in the European Union and headquartered in northern France, said it also saw a spike in demand and had a special order for 20,000 hectoliters (528,000 gallons about 2,000 tons) of additional denatured alcohol in the past days.

Here is a 9-pager on how even a hospital in Rwanda was able to make their 100 liter per month of hand sanitizer. It cost them one-third the commercial price. They made it for $2.65 per liter.

Social distancing and quarantines and mass cleaning can work to stop coronavirus. China showed that was the case.
