poet ethanol ohio

Apparently POET is too busy building and opening ethanol plants to read the headlines and know that the financial world as we know it is coming to an end.

 

The world’s biggest ethanol producer just keeps getting bigger, opening a new plant today in Fostoria, Ohio and announcing another plant opening in the same state at the end of October.

 

In fact, POET may be looking to get even bigger through acquisitions, according to this story from the Ottawa Citizen, which quotes CEO Jeff Broin saying that the financial crunch has made it the best time “in at least five years” to do so.

 

Obviously, he has not heard that the financial crisis “may delay biofuels development,” as Reuters reported this week from an interview with the CEO of BlueFire Ethanol. The fear is that the crisis will stifle cellulosic ethanol development because it has “raised project finance costs and made ambitious targets to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources look less achievable.” Just last month, POET announced they would complete construction on a $4 million pilot-scale cellulosic ethanol production facility by the end of this year and Jeff Broin said he is “more confident about the future of cellulosic ethanol than ever before.”

 

Some ethanol producers have been affected by bad financial decisions lately, no question. But, with corn prices heading back down (futures dropped below $5 today), those who are the most fiscally responsible will continue to turn a profit and keep moving forward. I’m no economist, but it seems that one of the best solutions to our financial problems is to invest even more into domestic, renewable sources of energy that produce jobs and keep more American dollars here at home rather than sending them overseas.

Ethanol Molecule $16.99 Ah, glorious ethanol, aka ethyl alcohol. How we love you. We would count the ways, but we can't remember them all. And even if we could, we like to count on our fingers, and we might not have the motor coordination for that right now. So we'll leave the exact number of ways we love you unsaid. But it's a lot. Our artist figured ethanol deserved slightly different treatment than our Caffeine Molecule, Capsaicin Molecule, and Chocolate Molecule designs. The ancient Egyptians may have had 17 different types of beer, but it wasn't until 1808 that Nicolas-Théodore de Saussure determined ethanol's magical chemical formula, hence our established on date for the molecular structure. This is a black, 100% cotton t-shirt. The ethyl alcohol moleculecular structure is emblazoned in white on a red emblem encircled with a golden-yellow edge and flanked by stalks of blessed grain, the fermentation of which presumably led to the alcohol molecular structure shown. Beneath is a banner of the same yellow which reads "Est. 1808 - Saussure."

The Great Corn Ethanol Ripoff (Hardcover) $13.16 In this in-depth, fact-based evaluation, Ken G. Glozer provides a detailed political history of how the United States ended up with current federal corn ethanol policy. Part I relates the significant external events that have driven the politics that in turn has driven the policy since 1977. He answers important questions about when the policy started, how it evolved, what were the major political and market forces that drove it, and, most important, who were the key officials that formed and shaped the policy.  Part II of the book contains an in-depth objective evaluation of the major claims made by those who have advocated the ethanol policies during the past thirty years. Glozer uses his analytic, policy evaluation skills, honed during his twenty-six years with the White House Office of Management and Budget, to probe how well the ethanol policy has worked compared to the claims made by two presidents, three federal agencies, ethanol producers, and the corn and soybean growers. The author presents the results of an evaluation of the Renewal Fuels Standard, which was first enacted in 1975 then doubled, to a mandatory 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol blended into the nation’s gasoline supplies. His surprising finding—that federal ethanol policy has little to do with energy and everything to do with wealth transfer—is particularly compelling because, after three decades of federal subsidies, trade protection, and, most recently, mandated ethanol blending, ethanol remains uneconomical. Also, according to the Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration, ethanol never has and never will have a significant impact on petroleum imports compared to what could be achieved under a comp
