  3. Distillers (DDG’s) Corn Oil update • Rail car situation • Renewable documentation • Mineral Oil

  4. Distillers (DDG’s) Corn Oil Recovery Process • Grind corn • Cook corn • Fermentation • Separate solids (centrifuge), liquids, alcohol (distillation) • Concentrate liquids (syrup) 30 to 35% solids through evaporators • Centrifuge corn oil from concentrated liquids

  5. Distillers Corn Oil Specifications • AFOA Rule 6.e • Online at www.fatsandoils.org/traderrules/traderrulesmain/

  6. Distillers Corn Oil Production • 80% to 85% of ethanol plants extracting • 2.0 to 2.2 billion lbs of annual distillers corn oil production • Yields improving • Anti emulsion process aids • Higher process temperatures • Management focus • Fine grind • Enzymes

  7. Distillers Corn Oil next steps • Increase yields to 1.0 lb/bu approximately 5.0 billion lbs / year • Potential 1.8 to 2.0 lbs of corn oil / bu • Higher protein values relative to energy value in feed • Continued challenges with changes in processing characteristics • Partial refining / bleaching at ethanol plants

  8. Rail Car Situation • Petroleum companies bidding $1200 to $1500 per month = 1/2 this time last year • Petroleum companies taking delivery of new builds – returning short term leased cars • Increased safety concerns / costs • Increased traffic flows • Crude producers like flexibility to markets that rail cars provide vs pipeline • LNG competing to replace diesel

  9. Renewable Documentation • Contracts specifying additional feedstock source documentation • RINS • CARB / CI index • ISCC certification • RED certification • Auditing

  10. Mineral Oil Specifications • European driven – being adopted elsewhere • Likely added to existing specifications • Not able to detect food grade mineral oil vs non food grade mineral oil • Sources • Rail car / metal wipes • Pumps / hydraulics

  11. Questions ??? • Volunteers for Vegetable Oil Committee • Contact information • Brian Engel • Bengel@Tenaska.com • Mobile (402) 680-9472 • Time for Biofuels FORUM
