  1. Papernol Technical, Economic and Environmental aspects of converting waste paper into Ethanol February 26, 2008

  2. Outline • Ethanol facts • Ethanol sources • Comparison to Papernol • Papernol process • Hydrolysis • Fermentation • Purification • Full scale outlook

  3. Fossil Fuel Burden

  4. Fossil Fuel Burden

  5. U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% Oil Reserves Rate of Use 25% 7% 7% 3% 3% The United States uses more oil than the next five highest-consuming nations combined. 3% 3% 3% 3% 3% 3% Updated July 2005. Source: International Energy Annual 2003 (EIA), Tables 1.2 and 8.1-O&GJ. Canada’s reserves include tar sands.

  6. Fossil Fuel • Comes From Politically Unstable Parts of the World • Weakening Pressure on the Dollar • High CO2 Emissions • Fixed Availability • 50 -100 years of supply left

  7. Acres to Replace Gasoline

  8. U.S. Ethanol Production RFA, 4/3/07 VERY FAR FAR FARTHER Currently: 6.5 bgy capacity at 124 biorefineries (purple dots) Near Future: Additional 6.4 bgy capacity at 76 biorefineries under construction and 7 under expansion (yellow) TOTAL: More than 12.8 bgy capacity Source: Renewable Fuels Association, 8/1/07

  9. U.S. Ethanol Production RFA, 4/3/07 Currently: 6.5 bgy capacity at 124 biorefineries (purple dots) Near Future: Additional 6.4 bgy capacity at 76 biorefineries under construction and 7 under expansion (yellow) TOTAL: More than 12.8 bgy capacity Source: Renewable Fuels Association, 8/1/07

  10. Increase in the Price of Corn

  11. Bio-Fuel Draw Backs: Dead Zone in Gulf of Mexico

  12. Starving the Poor http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22902512/

  13. They Have What We Don’t

  14. Papernol over Ethanol/ Gas • No Transportation or Farm land • Lower Energy cost • Lower Dollar Cost • Takes Advantage of Waste • Local: No Foreign Out Sourcing • Improves Local Economy • Fills in Gaps in Bio-Ethanol Map

  15. Papernol Preparation and Hydrolysis Fermentation Purification

  16. Three Steps to Papernol • Acid Hydrolysis • Dilute acid to generate glucose from cellulose • Fermentation • Converting Glucose into Ethanol • Distillation • Separating Ethanol from water

  17. Stages of Project Development Lab Concept Proof • Lab Scale – Proof of Concept • Currently in process at UTC • Available budget: $500 • Restricted Testing Pilot Scale: 2009-2010 Integrated Processing Utilize TVA/UTC Chickamauga site Estimated budget needed: $1,000,000 Medium Scale: 2008-2009 Small Demonstration Budget needed: $150,000 Tested using UTC ENGR labs Medium Small Demonstration Pilot Integrated Processing Orange Grove: 2010-2011 Full Unit – Skid Mounted Modular Estimated budget needed: $3,000,000 Orange Grove Full Unit

  18. Parallel Development • Analysis of Development of: • Process • Equipment • Materials • Economics

  19. Energy Equivalent Prices of Gas

  20. Visioning the Energy Future 25x’25 By 2025, America’s farms, ranches and forests willprovide 25% of the total energy consumed in the U.S.while continuing to produce safe, abundant and affordable food, feed and fiber 20 in 10 Goal in President’s 2007 State of the Union Address to replace 20% of our transportation fuels with renewable sources by 2017 30 by ’30 DOE’s 2002 “Vision”: goal of replacing 30% of our energy use with renewable sources in 30 years 36 bgy RFS by 2022 New legislation proposed to increase the RFS from 7.5 bgy in 2012 to 36 bgy in 10 more years, 21 bgy from advanced ethanol sources

  21. Economic Outlook

  22. Economic Outlook

  23. 10 Year Price History of Ethanol
