6. Ethanol Development Strategies
•
Short Term v. Medium/Long Term
•
Industry Producers (w/Corn) – Prime the Pump
•
Corn States – Fueling A Better America
•
Equipment Manufacturer Dialogue (w/help from …)
•
American Ethanol Branding
•
Renewable Fuels Standard – Fuels America
•
The annual volume obligations (RVO) – 2014 +2015
•
Higher Octane Fuels - CAFÉ support to OEM’s
•
Tier 3 – E30 Status
•
Urban Air and MOVES Model
7. Funding Industry
need for coherent plan with marketing and communication
Autos
•
Push for FFV demand
•
Publish on MLEB efficiency gains
•
2012 FFV peak production
•
“INFRASTRUCTURE – INFRASTRUCTURE – INFRASTRUCTURE”
•
Dislike E15
Consumer ‘mis-attitudes’
•
Ethanol hurts my car
•
Ethanol starves people
•
Corn and ethanol are subsidized
•
ETC……
P2+, FABA (med-long term)
•
Requested by corn
•
E25 standardization
•
Target FFVs
•
Align and amplify state work in infrastructure and marketing communication
PtP (short-term)
•
E15 as the new E10 (and E85)
•
Can’t make margins work for E85
EPA
•
RFS?
•
RFS not align with CAFE
•
F-factor; Tier 3 (no MLEB cert fuel; no R- factor enhancement)
Oil Explorers Oil Refiners Oil Distributors ‘How will they push back?’

Award Criteria
Must be canopy, 5 year commitment, high volumes, street ads, public announcement
Same as PtP plus…..
-increase E25 infrastructure
-increase FFV usage of E85
-marketing campaign to increase consumer demand
9. Ethanol Committee: Motion March 2014
NCGA should pursue participating in the Poet/ADM E15 infrastructure plan. The Committee highly recommends a board seat but not necessarily at the multi-million dollar level. The Committee supports NCGA staff negotiating the details of the board seat. The Committee feels that an additional long-term plan should also be simultaneously pursued. Motion Passed.
July, 2014: Recommendation from the EC
The EC recommends that PtP and P2+ work together if possible and communicate frequently to dovetail efforts for optimum synergy.
Corn Board echoed the same motions from the Ethanol Committee
10. Two-part program (Longer-term plan]
Two-pronged Approach
1). Infrastructure to ensure availability and access
-E25 standardization (prioritized)
-Strategically target E85
2). Marketing communication to drive consumer demand for increased volumes of ethanol

22. What Uses More Corn?
•
USDA estimates 5.3 billion bushels of corn will be used for feed and residual.
•
Ethanol production will create the equivalence of 1.1 billion bushels more corn feed, as distillers grains.
•
Of 1.6 billion bushels exported, about 1.1 billion bushels (80%) will be used as feed.
Feed total: 7.5 billion bushels
•
USDA estimates 5 billion bushels will be used to produce nearly 14 billion gallons of ethanol.
•
This process will also produce distillers grains, the equivalence of 1.1 billion bushels of corn for livestock and poultry feed.
Ethanol total: 3.9 billion bushels
