The Energy Balance of Corn Ethanol: An Update

Year: 2002

Type: report

Abstract: Studies conducted since the late 1970s have estimated the net energy value (NEV) of corn ethanol. However, variations in data and assumptions used among the studies have resulted in a wide range of estimates. This study identifies the factors causing this wide variation and develops a more consistent estimate.
