“Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit
this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children’s future and we are all
mortals.” John F. Kennedy

A Few Basic Fuel Facts:A Few Basic Fuel Facts:
• Biofuels only represent about 3% of total U.S. transportation fuel consumption (2005).
• Texas consumes more diesel fuel than any other state, followed by Calif., Penn., & the Northeast States, all of which face serious air quality problems.
• U.S. transportation fuel demand is increasing at a rate of 1.5 - 2.3% annually (mostly diesel).
• U.S. refineries are operating at capacity & combined with huge world fuel demand, prices are skyrocketing.
• Despite the 2005 Energy Bill, no end in sight for U.S. dependence on imported fossil fuels.

U.S. Fuel Ethanol: A ProfileU.S. Fuel Ethanol: A Profile
• Industry developed in U.S. over 25 years and will soon overtake Brazil as the world’s leading producer.
• Fuel Ethanol Capacity: >4 billion gallons (2005).
• Fuel Ethanol Potential Capacity: 25 - 30 billion gallons (~2025), roughly 15% of U.S. fuel demand.
• Corn is the predominant ethanol feedstock (~90%).
• New capacity to include grain sorghum, straw, “waste” materials, cellulose, MSW, etc. is quickly emerging.
• Fuel ethanol & biodiesel are the ONLY commercially available liquid fuels capable of reducing GHG emissions & reducing petroleum imports.
5
Uses for Fuel EthanolUses for Fuel Ethanol• Gasoline component (up to 10vol%)
• E85 - An alternative fuel (85vol% ethanol)
• E diesel® - an ethanol-diesel blended fuel (up to 15vol% ethanol in additized diesel fuel)
• Fuel cell energy source (under development)
• Other (e.g., higher blend levels in gasoline, etc.)?
6
WhyWhy Use Ethanol in Diesel? Use Ethanol in Diesel?
U.S. ag-based replacement for imported petroleum (500 mgy new ethanol demand potential)
Outstanding exhaust emissions benefits – verified reduction of both NOx & PM in new and older diesel engines
Plentiful supply & excellent infrastructure already exists in key U.S. and global fleet market areas
No significant environmental side-effects (CARB)
Greenhouse gas reduction impacts (Argonne Labs)

E dieselE diesel®® Consortium Consortium
• Not-for-Profit membership organization formed to address technical, commercial, & regulatory issues facing E diesel®.
• Organized under the Renewable Fuels Foundation.
• Consortium began work in early 2002.
• Broad industry and government participation.
• See www.e-diesel.org for more information.
