Cost Analysis of Farm and Cooperative Ethanol Plants

摘要

Because of the dearth of small ethanol plant performance data, this research project was initiated to begin a data bank as a basic reference point for ethanol producers. Areas of data collection include equipment used, operation costs, and revenues. Information includes a description of the plant, operational procedures, profitability data, and a summary. Twelve ethanol plants were investigated. (ERA citation 10:012643)
