AmeriFuels 8.1 Liter Irrigation Power Unit Presentation
Objectives Who – AmeriFuels – Kearney, NE What – Industrial engines 100% Ethanol When – Operating engines over past three years Where – Nebraska & Kansas – Delta Why – Create a Closed Loop Energy System How – AmeriFuels 8.1 liter ethanol engine
Ethanol Production Nebraska
Ethanol Production Nebraska Nebraska is the second largest Ethanol producing state in the U.S. Over 2.0 Billion gallons Utilizing over 700 million Bu. of Grain
Shipped on the Rail
Irrigation Opportunity in Nebraska and Kansas Source: NASS
Create a Closed Loop Energy System Allows grower to produce corn, sell corn to a local Ethanol Plant and buy back 100% Ethanol to use as fuel to grow more corn.
Grower Consumption Power One well converted to Ethanol 5 gal./hr X 1000 seasonal hours = 5000 gallons Equivalent to 83 cars driving 15,000 miles per year on E10 . 15,000 miles / 25 mpg = 600 gallons of E10 per year E10 = 10% Ethanol 600 gallons X 10% = 60 gallons of Ethanol 5,000 grower gal. / 60 driver gal. = 83.3 Drivers
Long-term Regional Opportunity Rural Commercial Sweet Sorghum Ethanol Potential: >100 Biorefineries Each Facility: -Produces 10MM gpy ethanol -Uses juice sugars and bagasse -Requires ~10,000 acres -Uses 12% of acres in a 6-mile radius -Displaces 10% of corn+soybeans+cotton -Creates min. 25 direct & 25 indirect jobs Source: Regional Strategy for Biobased Products in the Mississippi Delta , Battelle Technology Partnership Practice, August 2009.
