Sugarcane produces four times more ethanol per acre than corn can produce. But again, the amount of carbon producing-energy and carbon-producing products needed to make sugarcane (or corn) and ethanol (ie., fertilizer for crops, ethanol distillation) produces as much carbon dioxide in the end as fossil fuels.
