Below E10, refiners can adapt Somewhere above E10, problems arise: –Refiners shift gasoline to lower-value products –Reduced crude runs reduce diesel / jet supply –Refinery balance can be disrupted (aromatics, H2, light / heavy, heat / process integration, etc.) Foreseeable capacity ~100% ethanol: –Conv. RF will be ethanol (mostly corn) –Adv. NCRF will be ethanol (mostly cane) –Adv. CRF will initially be ethanol (cellulosic) –Limited biodiesel & renewable diesel from veg oils and waste fats & oil No single hydrocarbon is a panacea: –Paraffin vs. aromatic –Single component (volatility) –Acceptability as “contaminant” in other fuels –Combustion behavior –Refinery adaptability
