  1. Adding Cellulosic Ethanol (ACE)Quad County Corn Processors IRFA Summit January 28, 2014

  2. What is Adding Cellulosic Ethanol (ACE)? • ACE gets more out of the kernel of corn you purchase/process • ACE bolts on to existing Dry Grind ethanol plants • ACE adds significant income to corn processing • Quad County Corn Processors will complete its full scale facility in April, 2014 • Existing Dry Grind plants can provide significant cellulosic fuel for the RFS • Plans are being finalized to commercialize the patented process

  3.

  4. Process yield changes/bu. of corn • Additional 0.16(6%) gal of cellulosic ethanol • Additional 1.1#(220%) of corn oil • Decreased feed pounds by 15%

  5. Bolt on ACE technology • Facility continues to operate throughout construction • Tie-ins to utilities take place during your planned shut-down

  6. Corn Kernel Fiber industry implications • Cellulose, Hemicellulose, Lignin • Capable of generating 2 Billion gallons of cellulosic ethanol • EPA proposed rule clarification classifies as Ag Residue under RFS rules • When EPA proposed rule is final, ethanol will qualify for D3 RIN

  7. ACE implementation • Quad County Corn Processors facility completion – April 2014 • Quad County Corn Processors start-up – May 2014 • Anticipate maximizing starch in fermentation after start-up • Higher alcohol levels will reduce energy • Additional capacity in base plant • Commercialization strategy is in final stages • Anticipate facility tours to be available summer/fall 2014

  8. Quad County Corn Processors • Delayne Johnson • CEO • 6059 159th St • Galva, Iowa 51020 • 712-282-4305 Ext 102 • delaynej@quad-county.com
