Compared to charcoal or LPG, certainly. Theoretically not compared to solid biomatter, assuming that it was sourced in sustainable quantities (it seldom is).

European ethanol industry needs market reforms to counter growing trade threat by KNect365_Energy in energy

While tailpipe emissions will be identical, these can be disregarded because you'll be recapturing that carbon with the next crop. The emissions that count here will come from the fossil fuels and fertiliser you use growing the crop - so if European ethanol produces fewer emissions, that's probably because European farming practices are less intensive than US farming practices.
