They're using sugarcane, it's a perennial grass that has an extreamly high sugar content(duh), ethanol is made by a process of the sugar breaking down into alcohol using yeast(simlified, not going into detail)... it's damn near the best thing to use for producing said bio fuel, it is cheap to grow, cheap to harvest and produces a heavy volume of high grade material.
Ethanol can be made from any matter that can be broked down into sugar and I think that includes Soylent Green
but that process would be costly.
