Without a doubt ethanol will eventually be traded as fossil fuels do today (futures contracts, etc.
Numerous studies have shown that ethanol has a positive energy balance, particularly when compared with gasoline. According to the US Department of Energy, it takes 1.23 units of fossil energy to make one unit of gasoline – an energy cost of 23 percent. In contrast, corn ethanol delivers 20 – 50% more energy than it takes to produce, and cellulosic up to 600 % more.

Forest Legacy Investments, LLC
Timberland property values in today’s marketplace often reflect a non-timber or higher and better use (HBU) component.
The HBU component represents a property’s potential for generating value by something other than growing trees. In most cases this value is future conversion to residential or commercial real estate. By selling or donating a conservation easement that conveys future development rights (i.e., restricts or removes development rights) we are able to immediately capture the HBU value of the property and can eliminate the future speculative risk on this value. This approach helps create more of a “pure play” timber investment as opposed to a timberland investment mixed with speculative real estate value.
