It appears you were pretty narrow in your reporting of corn waste biofuel's impact on the environment. The research you shared isn't all that credible, as it was too simplistic in its analysis of carbon loss from soil, which can vary over a single field. The research you cited overestimated how much residue farmers actually remove.
"The core analysis depicts an extreme scenario that no responsible farmer or business would ever employ because it would ruin both the land and the long-term supply of feedstock. It makes no agronomic or business sense," says Jan Koninckx, global business director for biorefineries at DuPont.
In the future, please use credible sources when sharing such extreme claims.
