Delucchi (2006)* Accounts for
- seeding, fertilization, irrigation, cultivation, crop transport,
refining, distribution, combustion.
- climate impacts of BC, other PM, NO, CO
- detailed nitrogen cycle, basic landuse/price impacts
U.S. corn ethanol ~2.4% less CO2-eq. emis. than light-duty gasoline
(China +17%; India +11%; Japan +1%, Chile -6%)
Switchgrass ethanol ~52.5% less CO2-eq. emis. than LDG -
Searchinger et al. (2008)# Adds gridded global landuse/price impacts
U.S. corn ethanol ~90% more CO2-eq. than gasoline

Overall Scores/Rankings (Lowest is Best)
Summary
Among many vehicle options, wind-BEVs and wind-HFCVs have the
greatest benefit and least impact in terms of solving climate, pollution,
landuse, water supply problems. Wind requires 2-6 orders of magnitude
less land footprint than any other option.
