It's perfectly okay, it just twisted the words. It meant to say the carbon added to atmosphere let say 10% when corn based ethnol is burnt( which means the ethnol formed from corn) is equal to the carbon dioxide which corn intake while grewing. The line in between just state the relation between ethnol and corn. Hope you get this.
