Ethanol blended fuels are widely used in Brazil, the United States, and Europe. Bioethanol is being produced converting carbon-based agricultural feedstock such as sugar cane, bagasse, grain, barley, potatoes. Gasoline gallon equivalency of ethanol is approximately 1.5. As we know, the EVs are not limited to the road transportation.

The RED also established environmental sustainability criteria for biofuels consumed in the EU: a minimum rate of direct GHG emission savings (35% in 2009 and rising over time to 50% in 2017) and restrictions on the types of land that may be converted to production of biofuels feedstock crops (direct land use changes only).

As currently practiced in a country such as Brazil, it can lead to emissions reductions of between 70% and well over 100% when substituted for gasoline. Increased emissions of GHG may result in particular when production takes place on converted natural land and the associated mobilization of carbon stocks is accounted for, the report finds.

In general, biofuels made from organic waste are environmentally more benign than those from energy crops. The critical issues for both GHG emissions and food production are; which land types will be converted to biofuel crops; which biofuel crops will be grown and what biofuel crop yields will be.
