Covering Key Aspects Technical Environmental Economic August 8, 2008 EthanolRecycle PaperRecycle
2
Topics Ethanol Energy Location Time line Opportunity
3
Growing Demand For Ethanol New US Facilities 500 Million gallons in construction or planned
4
Corn Ethanol Drawbacks Cropland Intensive Impacts Food Supply Higher Water Pollution Potential Large Fossil Fuel Input Low Net Energy Yield
5
Population = Paper Location, Location, Location RFA, 4/3/07 Source: Renewable Fuels Association, 8/1/07 Paper More Paper Even More Paper
6
Papernol Advantages Converts Waste Stream to Revenue Stream Resource from Local Community Improves Local Economy Minimal Transportation/Fuel Inputs No Cropland Requirement Fills in Gaps in Bio-Ethanol Map
7
Fermentation: Convert Glucose into Ethanol Distillation: Separate Ethanol from water Acid Hydrolysis: Dilute acid to generate glucose from cellulose Papernol -- Process Paper Sugar Ethanol CO 2 Molecular Sieve Pure Ethanol Preparation and Hydrolysis FermentationPurification
8
Papernol Outlook Significant Potential in Ethanol Market Economically Competitive with Corn & Switchgrass Net Energy Positive 250% energy return A Renewable, Non-Food Ethanol Source
9
Adding Stream Value Papernol More than 2:1 Stream Value 1 Ton of Paper at $150 ½ ton of CO 2 at $0.10 per lb ($100) 100 Gallons of Ethanol at $3 per gal ($300)
