Re: [biofuel] Ethanol Plant Polluters?

Harmon,

The smell is like Milwaukee used to be during the summer, not pleasant, but
not unbearable. In some areas of Wisconsin the effluent can be sprayed back
on farmers fields (with a permit). On the big plants, they want the effluent
to have contaminants taken out.

Dana,

Lowest price I have seen for a renewable power contract is 5.6 cents per
kwh - that was for constant power, not peak shaving. If you can get 7 cents
or more, you should be in good shape.

Bring your process over here to Wisconsin - utilities are required to
purchase a certain percentage of their power from renewables. Last summer
there was a major problem because wind power does not work well over here
(they are only getting 22 percent utilization). Start with Alliant Energy -
they had the biggest problem.

Re: [biofuel] SVO/WVO business opportunity??? Power generation

2001-12-21 Thread cpech


Dana,

A web search will show hundreds of sites with used gensets.

Concentrate on companies that can use the heat for their process
(cogeneration) - it will cut costs dramatically. You could probably use some
of the heat for BioD production. I don't know where you are from, but some
states (Wisconsin is one) REQUIRE a certain amount of electricity be
generated from renewables, thus commanding a higher price.

Another fuel to be considered is ethanol. I can't understand why ethanol
plants do not do this themselves.

[biofuel] Waste Veggie Oil Disposal Problem

2001-06-05 Thread cpech

Great article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal about waste veggie oil. Price 
is so low, companies are dumping it down sewers. Cost to remove / clean sewers 
is enormous. Should be more than enough for biodiesel, and it helps clean up 
another problem as well.

Looking forward to seeing more work on glycerin for dehydrating ethanol.

It depends on the state you are in. Mine (Wisconsin) has to buy the
electricity by law under a program called "net metering". In practicality,
there is no way they will actually end up buying it - I tried this week.

It is negotiable. If they do not want the power they will offer you a very
low price. If they want it, you'll get a better deal. Also depends on what
time of day you are supplying it and how much there is.

Have your lawyer cover this in your contract. Usually the utility "owns" the
line, so they are liable.


My dream is to make ethanol and put it into E85 engines, classify the power
as 85% renewable and sell it for 6 to 7 cents. I'd make a killing.

Re: [biofuel] Farming question

2000-12-22 Thread cpech

True.
The state of Wisconsin sets aside 640,000 acres (across the US the number is
VERY large) at about $55 per acre (paid by the federal government). The feds
pay $35,000,000 to not grow crops in this that can be used for ethanol
production then subsidizes the production! Currently, we "import" about
50,000,000 gallons from other states.

Currently, fed subsidy is about 5.4 cents per gallon, the state adds 20
cents and if you get a piece of the new fed subsidy, add another 40 cents.
Go figure.

For yeast - Alltech
