• Consumers would see future pump savings of $20 billion per year on fuel costs.
• Society would see CO2 emissions reduced by 6.2 billion tons per year, equal to 80% of U.S. transportation-related CO2 emissions in 2002.

• 2004 assessment by the National Energy Commission concluded that a vigorous effort in the USA to develop cellulosic biofuels between now and 2015 could:
– Produce the first billion gallons at costs approaching those of gasoline and diesel.
– Establish the capacity to produce biofuels at very competitive pump prices equivalent to roughly 8 million barrels of oil per day (122 billion gallons per year) by 2025.

Ethanol Production
• Corn kernels are ground in a hammermill to expose the starch
• The ground grain is mixed with water, cooked briefly and enzymes are added to convert the starch to sugar using a chemical reaction called hydrolysis.
• Yeast is added to ferment the sugars to ethanol.
• The ethanol is separated from the mixture by distillation and the water is removed from the mixture using dehydration

Ethanol Production
• Energy content about 2/3 of gasoline
– So E10 (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline) will
cause your gas mileage to decrease 3-4%
• Takes energy to create ethanol from
starchy sugars
– Positive net energy balance
– Energy output/input = 1.67

MTBE
• MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether)
– A chemical compound that is manufactured by the
chemical reaction of methanol and isobutylene
– Used almost exclusively a fuel additive in gasoline
– It is one of a group of chemicals commonly known as
"oxygenates" because they raise the oxygen content
of gasoline.
– At room temperature, MTBE is a volatile, flammable
and colorless liquid that dissolves rather easily in
water.

MTBE
• Oxygen helps gasoline burn more completely, reducing tailpipe emissions from motor vehicles
• Oxygen dilutes or displaces gasoline components such as aromatics (e.g., benzene) and sulfur
• Oxygen optimizes the oxidation during combustion.
• Most refiners have chosen to use MTBE over other oxygenates primarily for its blending characteristics and for economic reasons

MTBE and
The Clean Air Act
• The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAA) require the use of oxygenated gasoline in areas with unhealthy levels of air pollution
– The CAA does not specifically require MTBE. Refiners may choose to use other oxygenates, such as ethanol
– Winter Oxyfuel Program: Originally implemented in 1992, the CAA requires oxygenated fuel during the cold months in cities that have elevated levels of carbon monoxide
– Year-round Reformulated Gasoline Program: Since 1995, the CAA requires reformulated gasoline (RFG) year-round in cities with the worst ground-level ozone (smog).

MTBE and
Groundwater Pollution
• MTBE has the potential to occur in high concentrations in groundwater
• Some MTBE has appeared in drinking water wells throughout the U.S
• Highly water soluble– Not easily absorbed into soil
– Resists biodegradation
• Travels far from leak sources, – Hazard on a regional scale.
• Some states are banning MTBE

Promoting Bioenergy
• Why not import ethanol from Brazil?
• The U.S. imposes a $22/barrel import tariff on Brazilian ethanol
• So, are the ethanol subsidies in the EPAct05 just a payoff to the agricultural lobby?
• Or, are we attempting to build a domestic ethanol industry by subsidizing its early efforts?
• How best to promote bioenergy?
