Investor Owned Utilities
– Currently, see need for 310 MW by 2012, even
AFTER a 700 MW jump in 2010

Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility
Commission – (MJMEUC)

Associated Electric
– Approximately 3,800 MW now
– 50% Increase in Electricity Demand by 2025
– So 900+ MW Additional Needs

One Way of Making Fuel
It takes approximately
83,000 Million BTU
to fuel 1 MW of electric
generation capacity
Liquid Motor Fuels
Ethanol
– Corn and Cellulosic
Biodiesel
Butanol
– Bean, Oil and Other
– Gasoline Alternative
– From Bio-Refineries

Current Missouri Fuel Use
 Gasoline
- 250 MMG per Month
– 3 Billion Gallons per Year
 Includes
 Diesel
300 MMG of Ethanol
– 90 MMG per Month
– 1.08 Billion Gallons per Year
 At
a 5% blend would use 54 MMG of Biodiesel
 At 20% blend would use 216 MMG of Biodiesel
Missouri Biofuel Production
 Ethanol
– 6 Plants and 278 MGY Production
– No New Plants Currently Expected
– Nearly all of Missouri’s Mandated Use
 Biodiesel
– 8 Plants and 150 MGY Production
– Two New Plants being considered
 Potentially
35 to 50 MGY
– Could Essentially Supply a B-20 Mandate

`(3) ADVANCED BIOFUEL`(A) IN GENERAL- The term `advanced biofuel' means fuel derived from
renewable biomass other than corn kernel starch.
`(B) INCLUSIONS- Subject to subparagraph (A), the term `advanced
biofuel' includes-`(i) biofuel derived from cellulose, hemicellulose, or lignin;
`(ii) biofuel derived from sugar and starch (other than ethanol derived
from corn kernel starch);
`(iii) biofuel derived from waste material, including crop residue, other
vegetative waste material, animal waste, food waste, and yard waste;
`(iv) diesel-equivalent fuel derived from renewable biomass, including
vegetable oil and animal fat;
`(v) biogas (including landfill gas and sewage waste treatment gas)
produced through the conversion of organic matter from renewable
biomass;
`(vi) butanol or other alcohols produced through the conversion of organic
matter from renewable biomass; and
`(vii) other fuel derived from cellulosic biomass.
