 | Our
ethanol plant will create 40 new direct permanent local jobs as well as up
to 660 additional permanent indirect jobs in other sectors in the surrounding
areas |
| Our
ethanol plant will stimulate the local farming community and provide a new
market for our New Jersey
grain farmers |
| Our
ethanol plant will produce more than 40 million gallons of ethanol per year |
| It will cost approximately $120M to build and equip a 40-millon gallon a
year ethanol plant.
This cost represents expenditures for goods and services, most of which will
be spent in the local economy |
| Construction of a production facility typically takes 12-18 months and
will create approximately 1,700 construction jobs |
| A 40-millon gallon a year ethanol plant will spend more than $56 million a year over a ten
year period on goods and services |
| Expand the economic base of the local economy by $110.2 million over ten
years |
| Generate an additional $19.6 million of household income annually |
| Generate at least $1.2 million in new tax revenue for the state and local
governments annually |
| By producing ethanol locally, E85
can be as inexpensive as $1.99 per gallon! |
| 23.8
gallons of ethanol displaces 42 gallons of foreign oil |
| Our ethanol production will replace imported MTBE with an environmentally
safe, home grown local product |
| Ethanol
does not contain the harmful carcinogens and toxins found in gasoline |
| An ethanol plant produces three valuable co-products; ethanol, dried
distiller grains and carbon dioxide |
| Ethanol
production does not reduce the amount of *food/*corn available for human
consumption |
| Ethanol
is produced from field *corn
fed to livestock, not sweet corn fed to humans |
| Importantly,
ethanol production utilizes only the starch portion of the corn kernel.
One by-product, dried distiller grains with solubles (DDGS), is used as a
high protein animal feed for cattle, swine, poultry, fish, and can also be
used in pet food |
| A 40-millon gallon a year ethanol plant also captures 120,000 tons of
(CO2) carbon dioxide, a co-product, which is used for the fizz in beverages,
for dry ice, welding equipment, to flash freeze vegetables and fruits and is
used at municipal wastewater treatment plants. 16 lbs of CO2 comes
from a single bushel of corn |
| Most
of the *water used in an ethanol plant is *recycled
and reused by the boilers, while only a small portion leaves the plant as
water vapor from the thermal oxidizer stack |
| Any *water
that is discharged from a plant is treated at a wastewater treatment
facility and recycled for use elsewhere |
