Abstract
⺠Social desirability of ethanol production from agricultural crops is examined under endopgenous crop price and life cycle greenhouse gas emissions. ⺠Ethanol production is socially desirable under current ethanol price but only if the side products, animal feed and the straw for energy, are produced. ⺠Returns to barley-ethanol depend on the 'side products' and CO2 -eq emissions in cultivation. ⺠Relative to corn-ethanol, offsets by straw in CHP production improve the case for barley-ethanol.
