It really does seem like ethanol is the future, I mean when you can convert garbage to a fuel your really on to something!

Biomass is hard to use economically if you have to move it more than 25 miles or so.

Why not instead use a simpler plant to process the biomass to biomethane? Then pipe it into the NG infrastructure, which already exists. The whole system would be cheaper, and more efficient in the use of the biomass.

I’d rather drive a car using methane, if the fuel cost was half the price of ethanol.
