For example, starch from corn grown in the midwest has traditionally been the source of some of the ethanol used as a fuel additive in the U.S.. Another option for the conversion of cellulosic biomass, such as hemp stalks, to ethanol is their hydrolysis to sugar, followed by fermentation and removal of the produced ethanol by distillation.

In other words, cellulosic conversion technology could easily drive deforestation, especially in the tropics where converting natural systems to fuel would be easier than planting potential fuel - crops like oil palm, sugar cane, soybeans, or corn.
