Economic Hurdles to Cellulose Ethanol Commercialization Iogen estimates that a commercial plant using its technology would cost $4.80 per annual gallon of capacity to build. (Wall Street Journal, April 21, 2004) A dry-grind corn ethanol plant can be built for about $1 per annual gallon of capacity. Banks are reluctant to back petroleum refinery projects that cost more than $1 per annual gallon of capacity. Cellulose ethanol producers may eventually face competition from electric generators for supplies of crop residues and other cellulosic materials.
