Cellulose Ethanol Pilot Plants Canada - Iogen – Demonstration plant in operation, negotiating for best site Spain - Abengoa – 5 million liter/year cellulosic plant in Europe with a 200 million liter/yr barley to ethanol plant China – China Resources Ethanol, Harbin, China USA - Abengoa – corn stover pilot plant in York, NE USA - DuPont – developing corn stover to chemicals technology

USA - Cargill-Dow – PLA plant in Blair, NE using wet mill sugars; working on biomass as sugar source Japan - Arkenol and JGC – BlueFire Technologies plant in Izumi, Japan USA - Williams/Purdue University– Conversion of fiber in DDG to ethanol Cellulose Ethanol Pilot Plants

Biomass Ethanol Biomass ethanol is aggressively being developed (5-10 years) This will ease pressure on grain demand in the years ahead Major portion of ethanol produced from cellulose within next years Increase in grain prices acts as an incentive to move towards biomass Some likely cellulose feedstocks are poplar trees and field residues

Biomass Utilization Fuels – like biodiesel, fuel ethanol, biogas Chemicals – chemical intermediataries Heat & Power – gasification, anaerobic digestion
