TL;DR: This article found that corn-based ethanol, instead of producing a 20% savings, nearly doubled greenhouse emissions over 30 years and increased greenhouse gases for 167 years, by using a worldwide agricultural model to estimate emissions from land-use change.

TL;DR: It is found that corn-based ethanol nearly doubles greenhouse emissions over 30 years and increases greenhouse gases for 167 years, which raises concerns about large biofuel mandates and highlights the value of using waste products.

TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of higher oil prices, a drought combined with an ethanol mandate, and removal of land from the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) relative to baseline projections are also presented.

TL;DR: In this article, an agricultural projection and greenhouse gas model are used to assess the impact of global cropland expansion on carbon emissions and the sensitivity of those estimates to modifications in assumptions concerning idle croplands, the degree of refinement in carbon coefficients, market responses, and yield increase.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the emergence of biofuel markets and its impact on U.S. and world agriculture for the coming decade using the multi-market multi-commodity international FAPRI model.
