Ethanol production begins with a sugar-containing liquid, like juices from crushed corn, sugarcane, etc. Then the liquid is fermented. It's exactly the process used to make alcohol for drinking. Yeast is added, which converts the sugar into alcohol. Typically the alcohol is not concentrated very much after this step, and the solution must be distilled in order to get high concentrations (close to 100%) necessary for use as a fuel. Of course there are some questions whether or not the production of ethanol for a fuel is a good idea - but that's not what you asked, is it? :)
