this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children’s future and we are all

mortals.” John F. Kennedy

A Few Basic Fuel Facts:A Few Basic Fuel Facts:

• Biofuels only represent about 3% of total U.S. transportation fuel consumption (2005).

• Texas consumes more diesel fuel than any other state, followed by Calif., Penn., & the Northeast States, all of which face serious air quality problems.

• U.S. transportation fuel demand is increasing at a rate of 1.5 - 2.3% annually (mostly diesel).

• U.S. refineries are operating at capacity & combined with huge world fuel demand, prices are skyrocketing.

• Despite the 2005 Energy Bill, no end in sight for U.S. dependence on imported fossil fuels.

U.S. Fuel Ethanol: A ProfileU.S. Fuel Ethanol: A Profile

• Industry developed in U.S. over 25 years and will soon overtake Brazil as the world’s leading producer.

• Fuel Ethanol Capacity: >4 billion gallons (2005).

• Fuel Ethanol Potential Capacity: 25 - 30 billion gallons (~2025), roughly 15% of U.S. fuel demand.

• Corn is the predominant ethanol feedstock (~90%).

• New capacity to include grain sorghum, straw, “waste” materials, cellulose, MSW, etc. is quickly emerging.

• Fuel ethanol & biodiesel are the ONLY commercially available liquid fuels capable of reducing GHG emissions & reducing petroleum imports.

5

Uses for Fuel EthanolUses for Fuel Ethanol• Gasoline component (up to 10vol%)

• E85 - An alternative fuel (85vol% ethanol)

• E diesel® - an ethanol-diesel blended fuel (up to 15vol% ethanol in additized diesel fuel)

• Fuel cell energy source (under development)

• Other (e.g., higher blend levels in gasoline, etc.)?

6

WhyWhy Use Ethanol in Diesel? Use Ethanol in Diesel?

U.S. ag-based replacement for imported petroleum (500 mgy new ethanol demand potential)

Outstanding exhaust emissions benefits – verified reduction of both NOx & PM in new and older diesel engines

Plentiful supply & excellent infrastructure already exists in key U.S. and global fleet market areas

No significant environmental side-effects (CARB)

Greenhouse gas reduction impacts (Argonne Labs)
