Availability of starting materials:
availability
sugar is renewable because it can be grown (1)
ethane is finite because it is obtained by processing of crude oil (1)
energy:
fermentation: energy is required for distillation/
hydration: energy is required to generate steam (1)
atom economy and waste products:
atom economy for fermentation < atom economy hydration (1)
In fermentation, CO2 is produced in addition to ethanol/ethanol is
not the only product (1)
In hydration, ethanol is the only product/hydration is an addition

Atom economy of fermentation could be increased by finding a use
