35 Policy Themes Dec 19, 2007: New energy bill signed by President (EISA) Corn ethanol is mandated to grow from 9 billion gallons in 2008 to 13.2 in 2012 to 15 in 2015 Was 7.5 in 2012 in 1995 Energy Act Federal and state tax credits Oxygenation requirements Macroeconomic policy (e.g., exchange rates, growth, inflation, and interest rates)
36 ENERGY MARKETS Crystal balls are very cloudy High by historical standards Extremely volatile Linkages to commodities Price of ethanol driven by price of oil which drives gasoline which in turn sets parameters on break-even prices for corn to ethanol manufacturers.
37 Current ethanol capacity is 7.5 B gal 5.8 B gal under construction 13+ B gal within next three years Several plants were placed on hold in mid and late 2006 as expected profit prospects dimmed B illio n g a l Renewable Fuel Standard for Conventional Biofuels
38 Corn Price Table1: Estimated Break Even Ethanol Prices for a New Plant 0% Return on Equity 12% Return on Equity 60 Million Gallon Plant 120 Million Gallon Plant 60 Million Gallon Plant 120 Million Gallon Plant $2.00 $1.19 $1.14 $1.32 $1.24 $3.00 $1.44 $1.40 $1.57 $1.49 $4.00 $1.70 $1.66 $1.83 $1.75 $5.00 $1.96 $1.91 $2.09 $2.00 $6.00 $2.21 $2.16 $2.34 $2.25 Source: Eidman V. Assumes: $90/bl oil, $2.74/gal wholesale gasoline price, DDGS price = 90% corn price, Inv = $ m gal or $ m gal Jan 29, 2008: Delivered $5.01, Ethanol $2.20, Natural $7.99/mmBtu
39 Estimated Historical Ethanol Gross Margins
40 Costs Gross Margin Needs to Cover $ $0.90 gal (Eidman) Capital is $0.25 of this component
41 Ethanol to Gas Relationship Sold at a premium when needed for an oxygenate. Averaged $0.64/gal in 2006 (wholesale) Has fallen as this market is getting filled and in response to logistics challenges 2007 premium fell to $0.10/gal Oct 2007 discount was $0.45 Long-run with substantial volume will sell closer to its relative energy value
