  1. Biofuels Montana Update: EPAC Billings Biofuel Conference Department of Environmental Quality Energy Planning and Renewable Energy Section June 26, 2012, Billings, Montana Howard Haines Montana Bioenergy Program Manager 406 841 5252 hhaines@mt.gov Chester MT, 3/07

  2. Ethanol Use (all retail may or may not)State FY MGY blend MGY ethanol2004 17 2.42005 30 3.12006 30 3.02007 12.63.1 gas total2008 40.669 4.067 491.902009 170.679084 17.067 315.1752010 174.592936 17.459 311.197 2011 206.571 blend + 0.632197 =21.3 496.324 2012 thru April 198.973 412.578 *Most E10 is out of Billings and Missoula. Ethanol is being used for octane boost (not E10)

  3. Proposed Ethanol Plants (Mont)Permitted MGY Feedstocks0 125 Wheat, corn, barley(only 1 on MDT list, 6/2012)(383 MGY in July 2008)Operating/planned cellulosic pilot plants0 (Aug 2008 had 1 in Butte, @ 150k/year capacity)

  4. Biodiesel Use (variable, depends on cost)State FY Blend-MGY B-100 gallons2004 0.345 70,0002005 0.347 71,0002006 0.348 71,1492007 336,180**2008 946,328 Total Diesel, mgy2009 802,759 245.243 2010 758,560 207.931 2011 784,598 273.570/ 958.646 2012 (thru Apr) 807,589 242.179/ 808.925 *Biodiesel as B5 is not tallied (as sold in Havre)

  5. Proposed Biodiesel Plants(Mont)Permitted MGY Feedstocks1 0.1-0.275Canola, safflower, camelina Total planned 0Operating (FY 2012) 4 0.015 Self use, used fry oil1 0.100 Canola, camelina, other

  6. What’s Next: Biobutanol? • Why: • Higher energy content (24%+); • Higher allowable blend rate for vehicles & pipelines (16-24%); • More higher value co-products; • Each gallon of biobutanol = 1.3 ethanol equivalents • Process: ABE (6:3:1 advanced now 35:65:1) & others • Each pound grain = about 1/3 (in weight) each of • alcohols (acetone, butanol, ethanol, propanol) • gases (CO2 & H2) and • distillers grains

  7. Biobutanol ~ Biofuels Growth? • 14 billion gallon/yr (bgy) EtOH capacity • (15 bgy RFS cap) • 13 bgy “E10” blend wall Higher allowable • 100 mgy ethanol ~ 80 mgy biobutanol (Gevo and Butamax) (plus DDGS, acetone & EtOH) or • 14 bgy EtOH capacity ~ 11.1 BtOH capacity • 16% (E10 equivalent) blend rate = 20.8 bgy • Biorefinery or Bioremediation?

  8. Where to Get Help: • www.biodiesel.org • www.deq.mt.gov • www.biodieseleducation.org • http://agr.mt.gov/camelina/default.asp • Howard Haines • 406 841-5200, hhaines@mt.gov Camelina
