The CO2 argument is to avoid releasing these locked up carbon emmissions. @ Tom V

“other conventional fuels” are buried beneath the surface therefore the carbon stored is not released if not used. The CO2 argument is to avoid releasing these locked up carbon emmissions.

The oil is made by pressing organic materials (not using any extra energy than earth is providing us) during ages. The CO2 emissions of conventional fuels where already absorbed over 10.000's of years back. This proofs the CO2 discussions being rather silly. Besides this, I really like the idea that fuels will be harvested in a clean way.

That said it would also be carbon neutral, since the carbon released by combustion would be offset by the carbon absorbed during the growth of the plants used to produce the fuel.
