No, they don't. All the carbon comes out of the atmosphere, so biofuel
does not contribute anything to atmospheric carbon. It is pure solar
energy.

| Bottom line is: If everyone used biofuels, then the next years' crop would
reabsorb the CO2 released the previous winter, rather than releasing the CO2
from carbon that has been safely buried for millions of years. Hope we might
get there before climate change unleashes hopeless amounts of who knows
what.
