LINCOLN - The University of Nebraska-Lincoln and some partners have started producing ethanol-based hand sanitizer to distribute at no cost to hospitals.

UNL said Tuesday that Hunter Flodman, an assistant professor in chemical and biomolecular engineering at the university, worked with the Food and Drug Administration, the Nebraska Ethanol Board and others to enable ethanol producers to supply their product for hand sanitizer. Hospitals, doctors, nursing homes, ambulance crews and others are struggling to find hand sanitizer, which is in short supply because so much is being used to combat COVID-19.
