I read the article, and I get the impression that there is more energy in than out. IF the best use of it they can suggest is storing energy for renewables, that indicates that it must take a lot of energy for the process to take place.
Assuming that they someday get the process to be yeied net energy though, I wonder what the anti ethanol crowd would have to say about that?

I'm still scared of what will happen to agricultral yields if there is ever a mass effort to sequester CO2 already in the atmosphere. I think we are safe from this one though.
