Ethanol and Its Implications for Fuel Supply Dr. Roger Conway USDA Office of Energy Policy and New Uses
Presentation Plan • USDA: corn supply and economic implications • Mr. Jack Huggins: Ethanol Industry Structure and Potential to Expand • Mr. Roger Legassie: The potential for biomass ethanol • Panel of Experts for Q&A
USDA Disclaimer The MTBE phase-out scenario does not represent official USDA position
Phase-Out ScenarioAssumptions • The 2% RFG oxygen mandate continues • Ethers and heavy alcohols are phased out • Ethanol is the only oxygenate • California is fully phased-out in 2002 • 49 States are fully phased-out in 2004
Ethanol/MTBE Equivalentsfor RFG Oxygen 5.7% Ethanol RFG contains 2% oxygen 11% MTBE RFG contains 2% oxygen 0.52 Volumes of Ethanol replace 1 Volume of MTBE
1997/1998 Corn Utilization Ending stocks 13% Exports 15% Feed & residual Fuel Ethanol 54% 5% Food, seed, & industrial 13%
FAPSIM Model(Food and Agricultural Policy Simulation) • USDA econometric model • Estimates intercommodity crop and livestock effects • Estimates farm income effects • Reallocates existing crop land for changes to USDA Baseline
FAPSIM ResultsAnnual average change from baseline1999-2010 • Land substitution from beans to corn • Corn nominal price increases 5 % • Net corn cost increases 11% for dry mill • Net corn cost increases 12% for wet mill • Net farm income increases 3 percent • 0.1% increase in food prices
Ethanol Cost of Production New Dry Mill 1.No change in amortized capital costs 2.No change in operating costs 3.Change in net corn cost (NCC) Net Corn Cost = Cost of Corn - Value of Coproducts COP = 1 + 2 + 3 COP in 2004 = COP in 1998 + (NCC)
Impact On Net Corn Cost for Dry Mills, $/gal Case Year NCC (NCC) Baseline 1999 $0.485 Baseline 2004 $0.590 MTBE Phase-out Base Case 2004 $0.694 $0.104 Extreme Event 2004 $0.808 $0.218
Annual Average Nominal Prices $4.00 $3.50 $3.00 Corn $2.50 Average price/Unit $2.00 $1.50 CV Data $1.00 Corn = 22.2% Crude/10 $0.50 Crude = 35.8% $0.00 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 Year
Other Sources • Caribbean Basin- No import duty on 1. 7% of US annual production from non-indigenous feedstocks 2. All from indigenous feedstocks • Beverage Exports: >100 MM GPY • Brazil: 4 Billion GPY capacity • Biomass: > 10 B GPY resource base
Summary and Conclusions2004 • Ethanol production increases to 3.3 billion gallons • Ethanol satisfies U.S. oxygen demand • Ethanol will remain available for octane markets • Corn price rise $0.20 per bushel from $2.50 • Ethanol COP increases by 10 cents per gallon • NCC effect on RFG cost is 0.6 cents per gallon
