A few problems. If you remove that “agricultural waste” from the field instead of letting it decay and replenish the soil then you have to use energy and resources to create and deploy fertilizers. If you are going to use the corn stover it’s probably more efficient to simply burn it in a generating plant to power EV’s than go through this process to create ethanol and burn it in a 20% efficient ICE.
