Prer pound of fuel, ethanol produces more emissionscas gasoline. Thr=e energy of combustion of ethanol is about 2/3rds of gasoline so there isn't any free lunch. You have to burn more ethanol to get where you're going. So more emissions.
And also the energy used to produce ethanol is greater than gasoline so more emissions are generated per mile.
If it weren't for fedral subsidies ethanol isn't cost effective either.
Not even mentioning the damage to fuel component gaskets.
