By only releasing the CO2 that was captured last year, it will even out. We will never go to a zero emission life-style. Even burning wood will release CO2.

You don't seem to understand, if you burn the same amount of hydrocarbon you release the same amount of CO2, it doesn't matter where or when the hydrocarbons came from. If you burn a liter of vegetable oil you get a certain number of gramms of CO2, if you burn a liter of diesel fuel you get approximately the same amount of CO2. You've gained exactly nothing from it being vegetable oil.
And by the way, do you know what the wast product of ethanol fermentation is? Yup, you guessed it, CO2!
It's a zero sum equation!
