QUOTE OF THE WEEK — Doug Sombke and Jim Seurer

“For many years now, South Dakota has led the way in proving that E30 blends can be used effectively in any vehicle. In fact, our Watertown E30 Challenge conclusively proved that E30’s high octane and more complete combustion improves vehicle performance, enabling more power, emitting less pollution, and saving consumers billions of dollars at the pump.

For 30 years, EPA has refused to enforce a mandatory law that requires it to reduce gasoline’s carcinogenic compounds to the “greatest achievable extent” by replacing them with ethanol’s superior, safe, low-carbon “clean octane.” With a stroke of his pen, President Trump could force EPA to do its job.” –Doug Sombke (South Dakota Farmers Union and Jim Seurer (Glacial Lakes Energy) writing in the Argus Leader.  READ MORE

Inside GranBio, NextChem’s New Partnership to “Blow Out” Cellulosic Ethanol Global Roll-Out

by Jim Lane (Biofuels Digest) News arrives from Sao Paulo and Rome that GranBio and NextChem have inked a strategic alliance and will co-license GranBio’s patented technology for the production of second-generation ethanol. NextChem is a subsidiary of Italian engineering giant Maire Tecnimont dedicated to the energy transition.

The news follows the announcement last week that GranBio has retained Citigroup and UBS for a planned IPO  that aims to raise $290 million. The stock is aimed for a listing on the B3 (Brasil Bolsa Balcao), the country’s second-oldest exchange, by the end of 2020.

Dateline Brazil: The technology deployment to date

The technology developed by GranBio to produce 2G ethanol has already been implemented in its factory located in São Miguel dos Campos, in Alagoas. USD220 million was invested in the construction of this plant, the first in the Southern Hemisphere dedicated to cellulosic ethanol. Currently, the company has the current capacity to produce around 30 million liters of 2G ethanol per year and the potential to export 100% of this biofuel to the American and European markets.

The partnership will enable the commercialization of this technology globally, combining GranBio’s knowledge in biomass and second generation biofuels with NextChem’s engineering intelligence and Group global presence, to offer integrated services – feedstock and project feasibility studies, development of integrated projects, engineering, and construction of factories worldwide. Together, the companies will have the opportunity to lead decarbonization of liquid fuels in an efficient and profitable way on a large scale.

Take it To Past the Limit: Why is cellulosic ethanol so hot, of late?

Policy, policy, policy. Governments are starting to tackle their ambitious transportation goals. In particular, the California market, driven by the stable LCFS program that sits atop the US Renewable Fuel Standard; India, where the oil marketing companies have undertaken a significant 2G ethanol effort. Also, Eastern Europe, where feedstock is in abundant supply and the recent RED II regulations have tipped Europe decisively towards advanced low-carbon fuels and beyond the first-generation of grain-based fuels.

The advances are helped by the adoption rate of ethanol in the EU and India, which is nowhere near the E10 bland wall, so there’s no question of first-gen and second-gen fuels having to compete, and policy has clearly aimed in both markets at low-carbon cellulosic fuels. In the US, where conventional and second-gen fuel do have to compete for the limited market imposed by E10 or E15 blend limits, the premium between cellulosic and conventional fuels has widened in recent years.

Why did cellulosic cool in the mid-2010s?

In some cases, the technology was immature. More importantly, the commitment of technology pioneers such as DuPont, Abengoa and Ineos dimmed as gasoline prices plummeted in 2014-15 and commitment to the US Renewable Fuel Standard weakened substantively under the Obama and Trump Administration’s. California’s LCFS was not yet proven to be the driver of demand that it has become.

Also, a second factor in California. Renewable diesel and cellulosic biogas have been hugely popular, but are starting to run into the feedstock availability and cost problems, on the horizon more than the here and now, that have posed difficulties for biodiesel from time to time. Long term, cellulosic ethanol’s potential to drive down carbon and tap a wider set of waste feedstocks at low prices has proven to be a driver. 

…

GranBio was able to develop a flexible model for the use of raw materials, which allows the use of almost all types of agricultural waste and energy crops, such as sugarcane straw, miscanthus, and corn straw as well as wood waste, such as pine and eucalyptus, to produce cellulosic ethanol.

…

The GranBio backstory

Founded in 2011, GranBio is a 100% Brazilian industrial biotechnology company, controlled by GranInvestimentos S.A., which creates solutions to transform biomass into renewable products. A pioneer in the production of cellulosic ethanol, or second generation (2G), in the Southern Hemisphere, the company is the only one in the sector that operates from the beginning to the end of the production chain – from raw material to the distribution of the final product – integrating its own technologies and of partners.

…

The NextChem backstory

Valerio Coppini presented on NextChem at ABLC 2020, and you can see the presentation, here.

Maire Tecnimont S.p.A., listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, is the head company of an industrial group, a leader in the natural resources processing industry (plant engineering in oil & gas downstream, with advanced technological and executive skills). Through its subsidiary, NextChem operates in the field of green chemistry; NextChem develops, designs and markets technologies for the energy transition, to produce chemical products sourced from non-fossils.  READ MORE

Foreign Affairs Dems Press for Info on Ethanol Tariffs

by Kelsey Tamborrino (Politico’s Morning Energy)  Two top Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee are seeking more information from the U.S. ambassador to Brazil after it was reported that he asked the Brazilian government to reduce ethanol tariffs in order to help Trump’s chances at reelection. New York Rep. Eliot Engel, the chair of the committee, and Albio Sires (D-N.J.), chair of the Western Hemisphere, Civilian Security and Trade Subcommittee, wrote to Ambassador Todd Chapman in a letter Friday that they are “extremely alarmed” by a report in Brazilian newspaper O Globo that, according to the lawmakers, said Chapman raised “the importance for the [Jair] Bolsonaro government of maintaining Donald Trump as U.S. President” and pointed to Iowa as a key player in Trump’s bid for reelection. “Hence the importance — according to Chapman — for the Bolsonaro government to do the U.S. a favor,” the newspaper reported, according to the lawmakers.

Engel and Sires write that such statements are “completely inappropriate for a U.S. ambassador to make,” and if confirmed would potentially violate the Hatch Act. They call for Chapman to respond in writing by Tuesday on whether the allegations are true and to provide complete descriptions of all conversations he’s had with Brazilian government officials on ethanol tariffs and the U.S. presidential election. “Given the events of 2016, it is all the more important for U.S. ambassadors serving our country abroad to not insert themselves into U.S. elections or encourage foreign government officials from any branch of government to do so,” they write.

A State Department spokesperson told ME any allegations suggesting Chapman asked Brazilians to support a specific U.S. candidate are false. The U.S., the spokesperson added, “has long been focused on reducing tariff barriers and will continue do so.”  READ MORE

Lawmakers ‘Alarmed’ by Reports U.S. Envoy Told Brazil It Could Help Re-elect Trump (New York Times)

House Democrats ‘alarmed’ by allegations about US diplomat in Brazil (The Hill)

Reports that envoy asked Brazil for ethanol favor to help Trump in Iowa draw Democrats’ ire (Des Moines Register)

 

Excerpt from New York Times: The O Globo newspaper published a story on Thursday saying Mr. Chapman had underscored “the importance to the Brazilian government of keeping Donald Trump” in office. Mr. Bolsonaro, a far-right leader, has made closer alignment with the Trump administration his top foreign policy priority.

A competing newspaper, Estadão, published an article Friday saying its reporters independently confirmed that the ambassador framed his argument against tariffs in partisan terms. The article said the Brazilian officials who met with Mr. Chapman rejected the appeal, declining to be drawn into the American presidential battle.

Neither article named its sources. But Alceu Moreira, a Brazilian congressman who heads the agricultural caucus, told The New York Times in an interview that Mr. Chapman had made repeated references to the electoral calendar during a recent meeting the two had about ethanol.

He said that Mr. Chapman did not explicitly urge him to help the Trump campaign or bring up the contest in Iowa — but that the American ambassador did tie the ethanol issue to the election.

“He said, ‘You know, we have elections in the United States, and that this is very important,’” Mr. Moreira said, recounting their conversation. “He said this four or five times.”

…

The committee’s letter also took issue with Mr. Chapman’s defense of a video promoting the Trump campaign that Eduardo Bolsonaro, a federal lawmaker and a son of President Jair Bolsonaro, posted Sunday on Twitter.

The video ends with a slide that says “Trump 2020: The Great Victory.”

…

Mr. Engel and Mr. Sires, a Democrat from New Jersey, said the ambassador should have responded differently.

“While Mr. Bolsonaro has the right to speak freely, it is simply not appropriate for sitting government officials — in any branch of government — to promote the campaigns of candidates in the United States,” the congressmen wrote. “We frankly believe that you should know better.”

…

Congressman Arnaldo Jardim, who leads a Brazilian congressional bloc that supports ethanol producers, said Mr. Chapman has been negotiating with a sense of urgency as the deadline approaches.

“Let’s just say he’s putting pressure” on Brazilian officials, said Mr. Jardim, adding that he had not personally met with the ambassador about this issue, but regularly speaks to several officials who have. “He’s saying that this is paramount for the United States and paramount for Trump.”  READ MORE
