Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
This presentation looks at the opportunities and
challenges in developing sustainable biofuels,
focusing on ethanol and biodiesel, the most
widely available biofuels
To discover the other technology,
operations and infrastructure
improvements underway across
the aviation industry.
“Biofuels is a collective term
for liquid fuels derived from
renewable sources, including
ethanol, biodiesel, and other
renewable liquid fuels.”

Biofuels: Market Highlights
RENALT ENERGY
Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
Ethanol grew from 8 percent of U.S. gasoline
consumption by volume in 2009 to nearly 10 percent
in 2011 and in the first eight months of 2012.
With almost all gasoline in the United States already
blended with 10 percent ethanol (E10), the maximum
level approved for use in all cars and light trucks,
significant increases in domestic consumption of
ethanol face a blend wall unless higher percentage
ethanol blends can achieve significant market
penetration.
RENALT ENERGY
Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
Biofuels: Market Highlights
While the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has
approved use of a 15 percent
ethanol blend (E15) for model year
2001 and newer cars and light
trucks, concerns related to
automobile warranties, potential
liability for misfueling, and
infrastructure costs are likely to
limit E15 use to low volumes in the
near term.
RENALT ENERGY
Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
Biofuels: Market Highlights
Exports of ethanol increased substantially as
producers looked abroad for new markets and Brazil
experienced a poor sugar harvest during 2011-12.
In the 2010/11 agricultural marketing year,2 40
percent of the corn crop and 14 percent of soybean
oil production was used to produce biofuels and
other products, including distillers grains for use as
animal feed.
The federal excise tax credits for non-cellulosic
ethanol and biodiesel and the ethanol import tariff
expired at the end of 2011.
RENALT ENERGY
Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
Biofuels: Market Highlights
A serious drought in the midwestern
United States during summer 2012
lowered production estimates for
corn and other crops, resulting in
higher prices and a reduced forecast
for biofuels production for the
2012/13 marketing year.
Plans for a pipeline to deliver
ethanol from the Midwest to the
Northeast were withdrawn during
2011.
RENALT ENERGY
Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
Biofuels: Market Highlights
Cellulosic biofuels production to
date is far below the targets set
by the Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007).
EPA issued waivers that
substantially reduced the
cellulosic biofuels obligation
under RFS2 for the 2010, 2011,
and 2012 program years.
RENALT ENERGY
Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
Biofuels: Market Highlights
Even that anticipated level of commercial production
failed to materialize. There was no production of
cellulosic biofuels or Renewable Identification
Numbers (RINs) in 2010 or 2011.
While a small number of cellulosic RINs may be
available to be applied towards the reduced RFS2
requirements for 2012 set under EPA’s waiver,4
production of cellulosic biofuel RINs in 2012 is likely
to be well short of the reduced 2012 requirement.

Biofuels: Incentives for Expansion
Legislation and
regulations are important
factors in the production
and consumption of
ethanol and biodiesel.
RENALT ENERGY

Processing plants are being built to produce the
required annual volumes and market participants
are sensitive to legislative and regulatory
developments.
RFS structure with 2022 mandated volumes
(Billion gallons)
Biofuels: Incentives for Expansion
EPA issues new rules for biofuels use each year
establishing the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) volume
requirements and associated percentage standards that
will apply in the following calendar year for cellulosic
biofuels, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuels, and
total renewable fuel.

Standard in billions
of gallons per year
Biofuels: Incentives for Expansion
EPA granted approval in January 2011 for the use of
gasoline blended with 15 percent ethanol (E15) in
model year 2001 and newer vehicles.
− Numerous ethanol producers received approval to
sell their products for blending into E15.
− The first gallons of E15 were sold in July 2012 in
Lawrence, Kansas.
RENALT ENERGY

Key legislation and regulations issued since 2009
Biofuels: Incentives for Expansion
California continued work on the Low Carbon Fuel
Standard (LCFS), a state-enacted policy to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles.
− Implementation began in January 2011 but was halted
by an injunction in December 2011 as two separate
lawsuits worked their way through the state and federal
courts.
− The injunction was lifted in April 2012 but litigation
continues.
RENALT ENERGY

Key legislation and regulations issued since 2009
Biofuels: Incentives for Expansion
The Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (VEETC) of
$0.45 per gallon of ethanol blended with gasoline expired
on December 31, 2011.
The $0.54-per-gallon tariff imposed on imported fuel
ethanol expired on December 31, 2011.
The retroactive reinstatement of the $1.00-per-gallon
biodiesel tax credit that occurred in late 2010 was effective
for biodiesel produced in 2010 through its expiration at the
end of 2011.

Biofuels Production Methods
RENALT ENERGY
Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
Biofuels production technology
continues to improve, both for
mature processes, such as corn-
based ethanol and vegetable oil-
based biodiesel, and for new
processes, such as renewable
diesel, renewable jet fuel, and
cellulosic biofuels.
Biofuels Production Methods
RENALT ENERGY
Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
Biodiesel producers have diversified their slate
of raw materials from primarily soybean oil to a
mix including:
-soybean oil,
-- non-food-grade corn oil,
-- various types of waste greases
Biofuels Production Methods
RENALT ENERGY
Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
Traditional biodiesel cannot be commingled with
jet fuel in product pipelines in any measurable
quantity, due to biodiesel’s solvent properties48
and potential problems with materials
compatibility.
Biofuels producers therefore looked to a different
production technology that would use the same
inputs normally used for biodiesel.
Biofuels Production Methods
RENALT ENERGY
Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
Instead of the reaction of renewable oil with
alcohol to produce biodiesel, the renewable oil
can be reacted with hydrogen (hydrotreated) to
produce a drop-in fuel compatible with existing
infrastructure and equipment.
This process can be used to produce renewable
jet fuel or renewable diesel fuel that does not
adversely affect jet fuel when the two products
are shipped on the same petroleum product
pipeline.
Cellulosic Production
RENALT ENERGY
Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
Progress on the commercialization
of cellulosic biofuels has been
slower than envisioned in 2007,
when the RFS2 was enacted.
The original RFS2 legislation
called for 100 million gallons of
cellulosic biofuel consumption in
2010.

Biofuels
Key points about biofuels
Produced from renewable
biological resources such as plant
material (rather than traditional
fossil fuels like coal, oil and
natural gas).
Absorbs carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere as the plant matter
(biomass) is grown, which is then
released back into the atmosphere
when the fuel is burnt.

Biofuels
Key points about biofuels
First-generation biofuels have
been used for a number of years
for transport, home heating, power
generation from stationary
engines, and cooking.
Second-generation biofuels are
derived from new sources that do
not compete for resources with
food supplies and can be used in
aviation.

Biofuels Issues, Trends and Challenges

  • 1. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Biofuels Issues, Trends and Challenges Gerard B. Hawkins Executive Director
  • 2. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium This presentation looks at the opportunities and challenges in developing sustainable biofuels, focusing on ethanol and biodiesel, the most widely available biofuels To discover the other technology, operations and infrastructure improvements underway across the aviation industry.
  • 3. “Biofuels is a collective term for liquid fuels derived from renewable sources, including ethanol, biodiesel, and other renewable liquid fuels.” Biofuels Definition RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium

  • 7. Other Routes to Renewable Fuels RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
  • 8. Biofuels: Market Highlights RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Ethanol grew from 8 percent of U.S. gasoline consumption by volume in 2009 to nearly 10 percent in 2011 and in the first eight months of 2012. With almost all gasoline in the United States already blended with 10 percent ethanol (E10), the maximum level approved for use in all cars and light trucks, significant increases in domestic consumption of ethanol face a blend wall unless higher percentage ethanol blends can achieve significant market penetration.
  • 9. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Biofuels: Market Highlights While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved use of a 15 percent ethanol blend (E15) for model year 2001 and newer cars and light trucks, concerns related to automobile warranties, potential liability for misfueling, and infrastructure costs are likely to limit E15 use to low volumes in the near term.
  • 10. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Biofuels: Market Highlights Exports of ethanol increased substantially as producers looked abroad for new markets and Brazil experienced a poor sugar harvest during 2011-12. In the 2010/11 agricultural marketing year,2 40 percent of the corn crop and 14 percent of soybean oil production was used to produce biofuels and other products, including distillers grains for use as animal feed. The federal excise tax credits for non-cellulosic ethanol and biodiesel and the ethanol import tariff expired at the end of 2011.
  • 11. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Biofuels: Market Highlights A serious drought in the midwestern United States during summer 2012 lowered production estimates for corn and other crops, resulting in higher prices and a reduced forecast for biofuels production for the 2012/13 marketing year. Plans for a pipeline to deliver ethanol from the Midwest to the Northeast were withdrawn during 2011.
  • 12. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Biofuels: Market Highlights Cellulosic biofuels production to date is far below the targets set by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007). EPA issued waivers that substantially reduced the cellulosic biofuels obligation under RFS2 for the 2010, 2011, and 2012 program years.
  • 13. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Biofuels: Market Highlights Even that anticipated level of commercial production failed to materialize. There was no production of cellulosic biofuels or Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) in 2010 or 2011. While a small number of cellulosic RINs may be available to be applied towards the reduced RFS2 requirements for 2012 set under EPA’s waiver,4 production of cellulosic biofuel RINs in 2012 is likely to be well short of the reduced 2012 requirement.
  • 14. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Biofuels: Market Highlights World biofuels supply by type

  • 26. Biofuels: Incentives for Expansion Legislation and regulations are important factors in the production and consumption of ethanol and biodiesel. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Processing plants are being built to produce the required annual volumes and market participants are sensitive to legislative and regulatory developments. RFS structure with 2022 mandated volumes (Billion gallons)
  • 27. Biofuels: Incentives for Expansion EPA issues new rules for biofuels use each year establishing the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) volume requirements and associated percentage standards that will apply in the following calendar year for cellulosic biofuels, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuels, and total renewable fuel. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Renewable Fuel Standard in billions of gallons per year
  • 28. Biofuels: Incentives for Expansion EPA granted approval in January 2011 for the use of gasoline blended with 15 percent ethanol (E15) in model year 2001 and newer vehicles. − Numerous ethanol producers received approval to sell their products for blending into E15. − The first gallons of E15 were sold in July 2012 in Lawrence, Kansas. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Key legislation and regulations issued since 2009
  • 29. Biofuels: Incentives for Expansion California continued work on the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), a state-enacted policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles. − Implementation began in January 2011 but was halted by an injunction in December 2011 as two separate lawsuits worked their way through the state and federal courts. − The injunction was lifted in April 2012 but litigation continues. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Key legislation and regulations issued since 2009
  • 30. Biofuels: Incentives for Expansion The Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (VEETC) of $0.45 per gallon of ethanol blended with gasoline expired on December 31, 2011. The $0.54-per-gallon tariff imposed on imported fuel ethanol expired on December 31, 2011. The retroactive reinstatement of the $1.00-per-gallon biodiesel tax credit that occurred in late 2010 was effective for biodiesel produced in 2010 through its expiration at the end of 2011.

  • 34. Biofuels Production Methods RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Biofuels production technology continues to improve, both for mature processes, such as corn- based ethanol and vegetable oil- based biodiesel, and for new processes, such as renewable diesel, renewable jet fuel, and cellulosic biofuels.
  • 35. Biofuels Production Methods RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Biodiesel producers have diversified their slate of raw materials from primarily soybean oil to a mix including: -soybean oil, -- non-food-grade corn oil, -- various types of waste greases
  • 36. Biofuels Production Methods RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Traditional biodiesel cannot be commingled with jet fuel in product pipelines in any measurable quantity, due to biodiesel’s solvent properties48 and potential problems with materials compatibility. Biofuels producers therefore looked to a different production technology that would use the same inputs normally used for biodiesel.
  • 37. Biofuels Production Methods RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Instead of the reaction of renewable oil with alcohol to produce biodiesel, the renewable oil can be reacted with hydrogen (hydrotreated) to produce a drop-in fuel compatible with existing infrastructure and equipment. This process can be used to produce renewable jet fuel or renewable diesel fuel that does not adversely affect jet fuel when the two products are shipped on the same petroleum product pipeline.
  • 38. Cellulosic Production RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Progress on the commercialization of cellulosic biofuels has been slower than envisioned in 2007, when the RFS2 was enacted. The original RFS2 legislation called for 100 million gallons of cellulosic biofuel consumption in 2010.
  • 39. Cellulosic Production RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Cellulosic biofuels projected production and actual domestic sales, 2010-12
  • 40. Cellulosic Production RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Selected cellulosic biofuels projects studied by EIA, 2009-12
  • 41. Cellulosic Production RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium Cellulosic biofuels projects currently projected to produce commercial volumes during 2012 or 2013
  • 42. Biofuels Key points about biofuels Produced from renewable biological resources such as plant material (rather than traditional fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas). Absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as the plant matter (biomass) is grown, which is then released back into the atmosphere when the fuel is burnt. RENALT ENERGY Renewable and Alternative Energy for the New Millennium
  • 43. Biofuels Key points about biofuels First-generation biofuels have been used for a number of years for transport, home heating, power generation from stationary engines, and cooking.
