Abstract

In 2007, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) conducted a survey of US ethanol production plants to provide an assessment of the current US ethanol industry. The survey covers plant operations in both corn dry mills and wet mills. In particular, it includes plant type, ownership structure, capacity, feedstocks, production volumes, coproducts,process fuel and electricity usage, water consumption, and products transportation and distribution. The survey response was based on year 2006 data. At the request of RFA, Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has performed a statistical analysis of the survey data, as an in-kind effort, under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) between ANL and RFA. During November 2007 and January 2008, ANL processed and analyzed the raw data for statistics. This extended technical memo serves as an official documentation to summarize ANL’s analysis.
