Ethanol is derived from grains such as corn and wheat or soybeans. Corn, the predominant feedstock, is converted to ethanol in either a dry or wet milling process. Future advances for renewable gasoline components include utilizing a wide variety of cellulosic biomass feedstocks, including agricultural plant wastes (corn stover, cereal straws, sugarcane bagasse), plant wastes from industrial processes (sawdust, paper pulp) and energy crops grown specifically for fuel production, such as switchgrass.

But what Furai has shown the Mazda team is the real value of teamwork and key partners:

• Racing Beat worked tirelessly to develop the world's only ethanol powered three-rotor rotary engine.
  
• Mother's Waxes and Polishes supplies an extensive range of waxes, polishes, and cleaners to keep the car looking its best at all times.
  
• Together with Liferacing, AER developed a six-speed paddle-shift mechanism.
  
• Brembo worked with the Mazda team to ensure the brakes were as effective on Furai as they were in competition
  
• Sachs and Eibach worked together to bring an aggressive, but steetable, shock and spring package.
  
• Nippon Paint provided the amazing three-feet-deep paintwork.
