ETHANOL from Page 1
Hart also said the Nebraska has one of the
best opportunities to develop this industry, He
said that Nebraska has a dependable agricultural
supply, is centrally located to reach both eastern
and western U.S. markets and was a pioneer in
t he industry as early as World War II. During the
war an ethanol plant operated in Omaha.
The proposed et hanol plants would cost about
$100 million to build. With mandated gasahol
usage, the public power districts could prove
that there is a market for ethanol, and they
would be able to obtain loans to secure that part
of the funding not met by the electrical surcharge,
Hart said. These plants would produce ethanol
at 90 cents a gallon, with corn prices at $1.40 a
bushel. The production of unleaded gasoline
runs about half that rate, but as oil prices rise
and as ethanol manufacturers become more
efficient, the production costs should level off
and be more competitive, he said. Ethanol also
produces distiller's grain as a byproduct and
this grain could be sold as feed to keep down
ethanol production costs, Hart said.
Several audience members asked why private
indust ry had not offered to build ethanol plants
in Nebraska. Hart said that the private industries
that had been approached with an offer preferred
eastern locations, like Illinois, because they
provide access to a larger market.
Hart stressed that while there are adequate
oil sources today, the world eventually will run
out of crude oil, and ethanol could be a viable
alternative energy source.
