  1. Federal Initiatives Senator Pat Roberts’ Advisory Committee on Science, Technology and the Future

  2. Committee Structure Subcommittees • Aviation (Robert Warner) • Bioscience (Ron Trewyn and Roy Jensen) • Education (Joe Heppert) • Homeland Security (Bill Lawson, • Information Technology (Jim Roberts, Bob LaGarde) • Manufacturing (Sandy Johnson) • Materials (Ken Klabunde) • Energy (Tim Carr)

  3. Energy Sub- Committee Members • Kirby Chapman (KSU Nat. Gas Machinery Lab) • Darrell Dorsey (KC-BPU) • Martin Dubois (Kansas Geological Survey) • Richard Nelson (KSU Engineering Extension) • Trung Nguyen (KU CPE) • Nicholas K. Powell (Colt Energy, Inc) • Michael Farmer (Consultant) • J. Alex Silver (Black and Veatch) • Jennifer States (JW Prairie Windpower) • Kevan Vick ( Coffeyville Resources) • Scott White (KU) • Charles Wilson (Trenton Agri Products)

  4. Goals • Provide Advice to the Senator • Ideas for Competitive Proposals • Clear Goals • Rationale that includes benefits to the State • Broad Base of Support • Timing • February 1 • Sub Committee • Web Meeting on January 24 at 10:30 am

  5. Kansas Bio-Energy Initiative • Assist in Creation of National Center for Commercialization of Bio-energy Technology • Develop Focused Research Center of Excellence in Integrated Bio-Energy and Energy Systems • Increase Federal Dollars for Bio-Energy and Bio-products Research • Encourage Collaboration among Private, Public, and Academic Players

  6. Kansas Bio-Energy • #1 Wheat & Sorghum Producer • #2 Livestock Producer • #6 Ethanol Producer (485 mmg/y), 4.3% US • Operating - 245 mmg/y, 4.5 % of US total • Under Construction - 240 mmg/y, 4.1% of US total • Proposed Projects • Ethanol, 966 mmg/y • Biodiesel, 44 mmg/y • US Ethanol Capacity 11.3 billion gallons/year

  7. US Ethanol Production Capacity

  8. KS Ethanol Production Capacity

  9. KS Proposed Bio-Energy Capacity

  10. Power Plant CO2 Emissions • A low efficiency (33%) 500 MW coal-burning plant will emit 4.4 billion kWh x 2.1 lb = 4.6 million tons of CO2 per year • A high efficiency (50%) 500 MW natural gas plant will emit 1.7 million tons of CO2 per year

  11. Ethanol CO2 Emissions • A ethanol plant releases 6.624 pounds of CO2 from fermentation per gallon produced.485 mmg/y x 6.624 pounds 1.6 million tons of CO2 per year • A ethanol plant releases 4.499 pounds of CO2 from combustion per gallon produced.485 mmg/y x 4.499 pounds 1.1 million tons of CO2 per year

  12. Integrated Energy Systems • Use Waste Heat to Power Bio-refinery • Capture CO2 at Bio-Refinery • Value Added Products • Feedlots (DDG’s) • Other Products • Value-Added Sequestration • At 6mcf/barrel 485mmg/y ethanol = 4.6mmbo/y (194 mmg/y) • Reduce Greenhouse Gases • Offset a 500Mw Power plant

  13. Integrated Energy Systems Water 8.4 kg Carbon Dioxide One Bushel Milo Fermentation 10 liters Ethanol Heat 8.2 kg Cattle Feed (DDG) Feed Pellets Raw Materials Ethanol Plant Products Annual Impact 2.7 BCF (145k metric tons) 7.5 mmcf/d 500 MBO (68.5*103 tonnes) 48 million gallons ethanol 182 million liters Feed supplement for 192,000 head Modified from RFA, artwork by Acker 1 metric ton CO2 = 19 mcf

  14. String of Pearls

  15. Kansas Bio-Energy Initiative • Assist in Creation of National Center for Commercialization of Bio-energy Technology • Develop Focused Research Center of Excellence in Integrated Bio-Energy and Energy Systems • Increase Federal Dollars for Bio-Energy and Bio-products Research • Encourage Collaboration among Private, Public, and Academic Players
