Biomass yields are lower than fossil fuels
The earliest corn ethanol operations had an energy yield under 1. You can't get more energy from biomass than it has in it, and it helps to use enzymatic extraction rather than heat, but corn ethanol can probably never yield above 2/1. Other sources like algae and sugar cane are more promising.
