  1. AmeriFuels 8.1 Liter Irrigation Power Unit Presentation

  2. Objectives • Who – AmeriFuels – Kearney, NE • What – Industrial engines 100% Ethanol • When – Operating engines over past three years • Where – Nebraska & Kansas – Delta • Why – Create a Closed Loop Energy System • How – AmeriFuels 8.1 liter ethanol engine

  3. Ethanol ProductionNebraska

  4. Ethanol Production Nebraska • Nebraska is the second largest Ethanol producing state in the U.S. • Over 2.0 Billion gallons • Utilizing over 700 million Bu. of Grain

  5. Shipped on the Rail

  6. Irrigation Opportunity in Nebraska and Kansas Source: NASS

  7. Create a Closed Loop Energy System • Allows grower to produce corn, sell corn to a local Ethanol Plant and buy back 100% Ethanol to use as fuel to grow more corn.

  8. Grower Consumption Power • One well converted to Ethanol • 5 gal./hr X 1000 seasonal hours = 5000 gallons • Equivalent to 83 cars driving 15,000 miles per year on E10. • 15,000 miles / 25 mpg = 600 gallons of E10 per year • E10 = 10% Ethanol • 600 gallons X 10% = 60 gallons of Ethanol • 5,000 grower gal. / 60 driver gal. = 83.3 Drivers

  9. Long-term Regional OpportunityRural Commercial Sweet Sorghum Ethanol Potential: >100 Biorefineries Each Facility: -Produces 10MM gpy ethanol -Uses juice sugars and bagasse -Requires ~10,000 acres -Uses 12% of acres in a 6-mile radius -Displaces 10% of corn+soybeans+cotton -Creates min. 25 direct & 25 indirect jobs Source: Regional Strategy for Biobased Products in the Mississippi Delta, Battelle Technology Partnership Practice, August 2009.
