Ethanol, Feedstock Production [ton/yr], 2015

Biomass Scenario Model, Study 29, Run 41938; Ethanol-focused incentives scenario provides moderate support to the starch and cellulosic ethanol industries. Focus is on accelerating industrial learning at an early stage through FCI and government loan guarantees for pioneer-scale cellulosic ethanol biorefineries. The starch industry receives a 0.45 USD/gallon point-of-production incentive until 2012. The cellulosic ethanol industry receives a point-of-production incentive of 2.65 USD/gallon for the first one billion gallons of ethanol production, after which the level drops to 0.15 USD/gallon. The point-of-use incentive and the distribution and storage incentive are applied equally to both the starch and cellulosic ethanol industries.
