Cellulosic Ethanol
As a fuel source, cellulosic ethanol emits 80 % less greenhouse gases then conventional gasoline. As a comparison,(corn) standard ethanol only provides 20 % percent reduction in green house gas emmisions. Be it corn or cellulosic based, it is essentially the same fuel. However, order to value the reductions in emmisions the entire production process of enthanol needs to be taken into account.
