In fact, capturing CO2 from ethanol production is so easy that ethanol production is the biggest source of purified CO2 in the US, and the second biggest source in Europe. This is where we source the CO2 that we use in fizzy drinks, food production, fire extinguishers, etc.
Interesting. I thought it was Steam Reformed Methane

Since less alcohol is required for isopropanol precipitation, this is the preferred method for precipitating DNA from large volumes. In addition, isopropanol precipitation can be performed at room temperature, which minimizes co precipitation of salt that interferes with downstream applications
We can hear your groans already: Our federal government's effort to curb oil imports by lacing gasoline with ethanol has been a boon to American farmers but a bust to the driving public. The problem is simple economics—pumping E85 (85-percent ethanol and 15-percent gasoline) into today's flex-fuel cars costs more per mile than fueling the same car with regular gas. We're suffering from ethanol's detriments without exploiting its advantages.
