Investment Attractiveness

• Calculate the cost of Cellulosic Production, including return on investment

• If there is an RFS – Compare to Corn EtOH Price otherwise compare to Gasoline Price

• Convert ratio of prices to “Attractiveness Factor”

• For Govt Capital Subsidy – Appropriately lower the Capital Requirement according to the levels of money available

Corn EtOHCapacity

Max YieldIncrease (bu/yr)

• Corn Production is calculated as the Yield x Acres• Yield increases at 1%/year up to a cap of 25% over

2006 value of 160 bu/acre• Demand for Whole corn is based on a continued

increase in demand of 0.8%/year• Demand for corn from Corn Ethanol is calculated from

the Corn Ethanol Plant Capacity and Plant Yields• Corn Price is determined from a relationship of price to

Corn Supply over Demand
