Why should biofuels be added to Kyoto Protocol? Isn't that double dipping?



Implementing a 5% blend of ethanol in gasoline will generate hundreds of jobs in rural Ontario, create a market for an additional 50 million bushels of corn every year and reduce greenhouse emissions by the equivalent of 200,000 cars. And it all starts on the farm.

Ethanol is already a 'balance' of carbon (dixoide) credits. The ethanol is produced from plants which is a form of plant (carbon dioxide) recycling.

Additionally.

What form of energy is used in the production of ethanol and what does that mean to Human Induced Global Warming and Climate Change?

If ethanol is produced by a coal fired plant then it no longer is 'carbon dioxide balanced;' now is it?
