Biodiesel???? Maybe I missed it or there is a reason you missed it. Actual re-use of existing organic wastes has much more carbon reduction capacity than growing mono-cultures of GMO corn on former rain forest land.

SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY
There are two ways to reduce transportation emissions: reduce emission
rates per vehicle-kilometer, or reduce total vehicle-travel. The vast
majority of policy and design innovation focuses on the first - thereby
guaranteeing perpetually rising transport intensity and perpetually
postponed sustainability. This excellent paper by Todd Alexander Litman,
at the Victoria Transport Policy Institute in Australia, explains in
policy terms how to reduce system-wide transport intensity within a
viable economy. http://www.vtpi.org/wwclimate.pdf
