Chemists at the University of Bristol have spent years developing technology to convert widely-available ethanol into butanol. "So alcoholic drinks are an ideal model for industrial ethanol fermentation broths - ethanol for fuel is essentially made using a brewing process. The chemists used a catalyst, a substance used to speed up and control a chemical reaction, to convert ethanol into butanol. They found their catalysts will convert beer - specifically the ethanol in beer - to butanol.
