That is not "making ethanol FROM electricity",it's just using it as a heat
source.You could use ANY heat source.Even solar.
The ethanol is still made from fermentation of sugars in biomass.

And also,that electicity still has to come from somewhere,like nuclear
power,windpower,solar,or combustion of hydrocarbons.(oil,coal,gas)
