If one integrates over a long enough period, biofuels show a substantial greenhouse gas advantage, but over a short period they have a higher CI than fossil fuel. In other words, CI estimates should not integrate over multiple years, but rather simply consider the fuel offset for the policy time period (normally a single year).
