Default bioethanol conversion

Im curious to see if a bioethanol conversion for an s2000 is :

a) plausible?
b) costly?
c) produce power increase?
d) detrimental to engine life?

I am aware that there are only a hand ful of garages the sell the jungle juice but in time im sure there will be many more.

Predominantly it's corrosive to fueling system.
Most of the bio-fuel car systems have to have uprated injection systems to prevent the alcohol corroding the injectors and similar
