Sentences with phrase «ethanol production costs»

Ethanol production costs and prices have ruled out U.S. ethanol use at levels higher than E10.

The decrease in enzyme cost brings the low end of cellulosic ethanol production cost below the high end of corn ethanol production cost.

Not exact matches

Due to the demands of ethanol production, the corn ETF ($ KORN) is also influenced by what crude costs.

Chemical engineer Inés Reyero Zaragoza proposed the substitution of methanol by ethanol for the production of biodiesel and the use of a heterogeneous catalyst, which will «result in a reduction of costs and in the environmental impact associated with the production of this biofuel.»

Enzymes, genetically engineered to avoid sticking to the surfaces of biomass such as corn stalks, may lower costs in the production of cellulose - based biofuels like ethanol.

Since transportation and storage of biomass add to the overall production cost if the materials aren't located near the biofuels facility, agricultural areas are the best location for renewable biomass to be used in ethanol production.

Future technologies that need R&D: high - efficiency photovoltaics (say, 50 % conversion)(as well as lowering the cost of PV), energy storage systems for intermittent sources like solar and wind (hydrogen storage, other methods), advances in biofuel technology (for example, hydrogen production from algae, cellulosic ethanol, etc..)

To reduce costs, we recommend regional concentration of E85 blends for future ethanol production and use.

A better title would have been: «Fueled: The Effects of Using Food for Fuel» or something like that, because the central question of the book is to what degree has using crops to produce biomass for fuel production (usually ethanol) affected the costs of food and fuel.

In anticipation of increased ethanol requirements the RIN cost skyrocketed because there is limited production capacity due to the wording of the mandate which is the RFS.

Indeed, the corn - to - ethanol production cycle is so carbon - intensive that a carbon tax applied to its fuel inputs (including natural gas) would internalize much of ethanol's climate cost, obviating somewhat the need for a tax on the end - product.

Such biomass, or cellulosic, ethanol is now likely to see commercial production begin first in a facility of the Canadian company, Iogen, with backing from Shell Oil, at a cost of around $ 1.30 / gallon.

Currently the cost and performance of ethanol in terms of CO2 emissions avoided is unfavourable, except for production from sugarcane in low - wage countries (Figure TS.16)(medium agreement, medium evidence)[5.3.1].

In 2007 26 % of the US corn production has diverted to create biofuel with a 7 % net increase in carbon dioxide emitted if one includes the energy cost for fertilizer, to harvest the corn, to haul the corn to the biofuel plants, and to triple distil the ethanol.

By - products of ethanol production include distiller's grain, which is used as a very low cost cattle feed, and also corn oil can be extracted, which can be converted into biodiesel.

Because of this policy, ethanol production now consumes approximately 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop, and the cost of corn for use in food production has increased by 193 percent since 2005 [the year before the RFS took effect].

The list is long and worth many billions (sorry for caps); — GREENHOUSE GAS ABATEMENT PROGM (Carbon capture)-- NON-RECOVERY OF PUBLIC AGENCY COSTS — PETROLEUM EXPLORATION TAX CONCESSIONS — RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE — DIRECT SUBSIDIES TO FOSSIL FUEL PROJECTS — DIESEL FUEL REBATE SCHEME — EXEMPTION FROM EXCISE FOR ALTERNATIVE FUELS Ethanol production which is an energy sink)-- CONCESSIONAL RATE OF EXCISE FOR FUEL OIL, — HEATING OIL AND KEROSENE — CONCESSIONAL RATE OF EXCISE FOR AVIATION FUEL — EXCISE FREE STATUS FOR CONDENSATE — SUBSIDISED SUPPLY OF COAL - FIRED ELECTRICITY TO — ALUMINIUM SMELTERS — STATE ENERGY SUPPLY CONCESSIONS — ELECTRICITY PRICING STRUCTURES — SUBSIDIES FOR CENTRALISED GENERATION

Cellulosic ethanol proponents have pushed the idea of using farm waste as a way to boost biofuel production without impacting food crops, but such conversion may carry a hidden cost in areas with insufficient rainfall or lacking irrigation, warns a soil scientist from Washington State University.

The production cost of the imported ethanol are much lower.

The same was true for producing biodiesel using soybeans and sunflower, however, the energy cost for producing soybean biodiesel was only slightly negative compared with ethanol production.

Although ethanol production indeed contributes to higher corn prices, it is not a major factor in world food costs.

Cardayre argues that LS9's biofuels offer several benefits that make them more attractive as an alternative to fossil fuels than do ethanol - derived fuels, including higher cost - efficiency and lower energy consumption in production (65 % less energy).

This has contributed to driving the cost of corn way up over the last year or two (there are other factors for the increase as well such as drought in Australia and booming demand among new middle classes in China and elsewhere but ethanol production is a big culprit).

Corn to ethanol production also produces distillers grain, a low cost animal feed.
