WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)
–The goal of squeezing hundreds of millions of gallons of additional renewable fuel out of the corn-based ethanol production process is not only achievable, but inevitable, according to Rich
Krablin, a vice president for Texas company
Green Shift.
Krablin, who made his case this week for the efficiency and profitability of extracting unused corn oil to produce
biodiesel to the Environmental Protection Agency, said the government was wrong to dismiss the product as unsubstantial.
The EPA,
Krablin said, believes that only about 20% of ethanol plants will extract corn oil by the year 2022.
But that’s an estimate based on ignorance of new technology that makes the process much more efficient and profitable, he told a panel of government officials at a hearing on the EPA’s plan to implement Congress’ renewable fuel standard.
That got the attention of Paul
Machiele, director of EPA’s Fuel Programs Center and one of the panelists at the two-day hearing this week.
Michele said he wanted to know more and he wanted Krablin to provide him with data on the technology quickly.
