I had to reread that paragraph a few times before I realized that burning the stuff produced both the charcoal and the bio-oil.....from the corn stuff....er stover.  So it isn't an outside additive at all.
 
I have no idea if it will make a difference.  The article is on the research. Sometimes research makes a difference.  Sometimes it creates more problems. 
 
At least it means someone is trying.  Iowa State does a lot of research with corn.  It was them who came up with corn gluten meal....and who continues to do research on it I think. 
 
To me it seems they are trying to go down a better path.  More and more of the professors and researchers are now backing up much of what we espouse on this list.  Took them a  while to come around. 
 
Time will tell if this will come to anything.....especially anything good.
