Given the biogenic carbon capture of crops, Ethanol as a fuel has a much lower environmental impact than the traditional fossil fuels. The emissions further drop to ~70% if we consider 2G ethanol which is produced using farm waste. India has already started setting up 2G plants, which use crop waste for ethanol production.
