A recent study conducted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Nebraska Center for Energy Sciences Research, a Improvements in Life Cycle, Energy Efficiency, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Corn-Ethanol,” proves the implementation of corn ethanol is lowering our GHD emissions. By using corn-ethanol emissions are lowered by 48-59 percent when compared to petroleum. Not only does it lower emissions, but it also returns 29-123 percent of the energy used to produce it. Using more corn-ethanol lowers our dependency on foreign oil as well. This allows for gas prices to stay down 29-40 percent. One barrel of corn ethanol produced replaces 1.2 barrels of petroleum.
