  14. Straw and stover - Our oil • Farmers often burn or plow-under the residue that could be used as feedstock. • In certain black soil zones, straw burning would be eliminated.

  15. DOE: Cellulose ethanol could deliver 20% savings in gasoline consumption

  16. DOE & USDA: Cellulose ethanol could displace over 30% of the country’s present petroleum consumption “The purpose of this report is to determine whether the land resources of the United States are capable of producing a sustainable supply of biomass sufficient to displace 30% of the country’s present petroleum consumption (i.e.60 billion gallons per year)…1 billion dry tons of biomass feedstock per year The short answer to the question … is yes.” Source: USDOE / USDA April 2005

  17. States capable of supporting a cellulose ethanol industry

  20. - supporting E4 to E7

  21. Benefits to energy security Cellulose ethanol can have a significant impact Over a billion tons of agriculture and forestry residue plus dedicated crop material is available in the US, according to recent DOE/USDA estimates Using Iogen yields, a billion tons of cellulosic material equates to the production of ~75 billion gallons of cellulose ethanol or, on an energy basis, over 40% of the US current gasoline consumption

  22. Benefits to the environment DOE: Ethanol made from cellulose has virtually no net CO2 emissions Gasoline Ethanol from Corn Ethanol from Cellulose

  23. Benefits to agriculture • Puts $ in farmer’s pockets • Keeps jobs on the farm and in the community • Represents a living example of sustainable development • Eliminates the need for straw burning (certain soil zones)

  24. Commercial plant rollout: What are the site evaluation criteria? Assess commercial/country risk using factors such as: Feedstocks • Type, availability, cost, ease of collection Government Policy • Tax situation, fuel mandates, financial incentives Infrastructure Issues • Water availability/cost, road network, rail, power and natural gas price Investment Climate • Tax rates, industrial development incentives, financing options Ethanol & Co-Product Sales • Off-take customers, refinery locations, market proximity

  25. 2007 Construction start targeted • Pursuing a disciplined Front End Development Process • Staged commercial and technical milestones • Working closely with Shell • Straw procurement underway • 320 contracts (382,000 t/yr) in place

  27. Project Developer: Iogen Shell Global Solutions Lead Equity Investors: Royal Dutch/Shell Iogen Energy Lead Candidate Locations: Idaho Saskatchewan Alberta A commercial biorefinery will look like… • Project Data: • $350 M project cost • ~ 500,000 t/yr feedstock • ~ 30 million gal/yr production • Associated power plant and enzyme plant

  28. The US Energy Policy Act of 2005 aggressively pursues cellulose ethanol • 7.5 billion gallons of renewable fuel by 2012 • A $1 billion loan guarantee program • 80% non-recourse loan guarantee for first four plants up to max of • $250 mm/plant • A 2.5:1 trading ratio for cellulose ethanol • 250 million gallon minimum annual required volume of cellulose ethanol beginning in 2013

  29. The President’s ’06 State of the Union Address put wind in the sails of the ’05 Energy Policy Act • “Keeping America competitive requires affordable energy. Here we have a serious problem: America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world. • We will also fund additional research in cutting-edge methods of producing ethanol, not just from corn but from wood chips, stalks, or switch grass. • Our goal is to make this new kind of ethanol practical and competitive within six years. Breakthroughs on this and other new technologies will help us reach another great goal: to replace more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025.” - President Bush, Jan. 31 State of the Union Address
