Why is that?
Given the optimal ethanol yield from corn on a per acre basis, we'd need over 400 million acres of corn to displace gasoline as a motor vehicle fuel. That constitutes over 4 times the corn acres we have planted now, and that's not considering we also use lots of corn for feed and for other foods.
Not sure what the yield per acre of this stuff is, but if it's high enough, it might be feasible.
