By 2015, the report finds, corn ethanol could show greenhouse gas emissions of 40,068 gCO 2 eq/GJ (HHV)—a 25% reduction from the 2005 level of 53,466 gCO 2 eq/GJ and a 37% reduction from the 1995 level of 63,977 gCO 2 eq/GJ. By comparison, gasoline shows full lifecycle GHG emissions of 88,764 gCO 2 eq/GJ in 2015, up 2.5%
