    1. Project Synergy & Biofuels

    2. Great Western Malting Co. Has been in Vancouver since 1933 Other plants in Idaho, Canada, UK & Australia Produces malt for the worlds leading brewing, distilling and food producers since the 1880’s Large grain and feed merchandiser

    3. Great Western Malting, Our Customers Produces malt from NW barley & wheat A vital part of the NW community providing family wage jobs Our products are the heart & sole of these any many more beers in your local market Customer base has changed

    4. What Vancouver Has To Offer Junction 3 major rail lines Near 2 major freeways In major port Zoned: Heavy Industrial Large water right Large wastewater processing Large NPDES Permit for discharge of cooling water High pressure gas line Malting process is a great heat sink Port can handle shuttle trains Large amount of grain storage

    5. Ethanol Production Needs Needs water Needs grain storage & handling Has waste heat needs cooling Needs access to transportation: Road, rail & barge Needs source of alpha amylases, NW grown barley and could e used NW short of ethanol production Favorable rail rate for corn bound to this ethanol plant site Needs outlet for distiller’s grains Ethanol does have a positive ROIC Ethanol is environmentally positive

    6. Ethanol Process Corn & NW Barley Brewing/Distilling Milling Cooking Fermenting Distillation DDGS production Produces Ethanol Distillers Dried Grain With Solubles CO2

    7. Ethanol: Why? Renewable domestic fuel that keeps our dollars in the USA Demand rising 10% blend that produces cleaner air without the issues of MTBE E85 is taking off faster that predicted Cars able to burn 85% ethanol currently being sold. No ethanol plant yet built in the PNW NW Freight advantage Part of the Governor's Energy Program

    8. West Coast Ethanol Demand Gasoline Consumption: 19.746 BGY Washington: 2.701 BGY Oregon: 1.533 BGY California: 15.512 BGY Ethanol Demand Current: 1.1 BGY Potential 1.975 BGY

    9. The Future: Energy Security Act of 2005 Signed into law August 2005 Double ethanol production by 2010 Goal: Cut 29,200,000 barrels of foreign oil a year “To transform our energy future, we must combine the same kind of fast-paced innovation that ushered in the information age, with an investment on the scale of the Manhattan project.“Biodiesel and ethanol are becoming increasingly cost-competitive. With vision and focus, we can capitalize on American ingenuity, put Washington farmers in the fuel business, and break our dependence on foreign oil.”

    10. Sen. Cantwell's Clean EDGE Act DIVERSIFYING AMERICAN ENERGY SOURCES, INVESTING IN THE FUTURE Renewable Electricity Investing in American Jobs and Industry TRANSFORMING AMERICA’S VEHICLES & INFRASTRUCTURE Flex-Fuel Vehicles: Accelerating Infrastructure Conversion PROTECTING AMERICAN CONSUMERS & BUSINESSES Preventing Gas Price Gouging and Increasing Transparency in the Oil and Gas Industry. Energy Emergency Loans for Farmers and Small Businesses LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD FOR CLEAN ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES Ending Giveaways to Big Oil Providing Certainty to Emerging Technologies REAL GOVERNMENT LEADERSHIP FOR CLEAN AND SECURE ENERGY A Serious Federal Commitment Innovative New Tools for States

    11. Benefits for the State: 55 MGY Plant Increases employment: Family Wage Union Jobs: 42 Jobs Shuttle trains of corn: 52 Shuttles/Year Barge, ship, truck & rail ethanol shipments: 25 to 39 barges and tariffs Barge, ship, truck & rail other DDDG shipments: Potential increase in tariffs & additional employment Leased land Annual payments Politically high level visibility Governor Gregoire: Renewable fuel bills and develop 1st WA plant. Senators Cantwell & Murray: Renewable Fuel And Energy Security Acts Great match: GWM and other Port Tenets Large beneficial economic impact on the community & Port: Goods & services a year Total capitalization Construction investment & jobs

    12. Great Western & Ethanol

    13. Feed Stocks Feed stocks in use Corn Sugar Barley Wheat Cellulosic The Challenge: It’s Commodity driven Business

    14. Snapshot Of Feedstock Prices

    15. Snapshot Of Feedstock Prices

    16. Corn & Ethanol

    17. Challenges For The NW Large competitive corn pipeline, but it’s the end of the pipe. NW grown feed stock benefits NW growers, MW or offshore feedstock doesn’t benefit NW growers, but can it compete with corn? Increased ethanol production will create new NW feedstock: DDGS Effects on other feed grains in the NW? How to use DDGS to bolster the NW cattle industry or create other uses for DDGS DDGS export market has yet to be developed

    18. Summary The politics of renewable bio-fuels It’s a tough double commodity driven industry Opportunities for the NW Bio-fuel feedstock Diverse renewable fuels New animal feed sources Great research centers
