(1) Ethanol prices fluctuate daily. Check Chicago Board of Trade
(2) Fees for dumping waste are mainly removed. We used an approximate addition to the company’s income stream of $300,000. It could be more or less.
(3) Subsidies may vary depending on federal and state regulations. For example, MN Dept. of Ag is .20 per gallon
(4) Little or no feedstock cost due to use of existing waste stream.
(5) Operating labor figured at eight hours per day. Generally speaking, a plant does not require supervision 24 hours per day, but runs 24/7 with only 8 hours of general supervision. Figures also incorporate increased labor cost for the first 3 months of operation and a one week shut down for maintenance.
(6) Assumes 25,000 BTU's per gallon for cooking and distillation; 100,000 BTU's per Therm. Boiler fuel can be provided by a digester, which would result in a substantial savings.
(7) Assumes 0.398 kwh/gal. al. Electricity can be provided by local power or an engine/generator set fueled by a digester.
(8) Assumes enzymes cost at $.10 per gallon.
(9) Assumes yeast cost of $.03 per gallon.
(10) Assumes chemical cost of $.03 per gallon.
(11) Other misc. to include legal, accounting, office supplies, etc.
