Economics appear favorable for a small EOR project utilizing the full CO2 output from the ethanol plant at the current scale. This will be a viable option should the planned pilot project prove successful and EOR is the best market alternative for the ethanol plants CO2. The planned expansion would have a positive impact on the transportation component.

High Pressure Pipeline | A 3 to 4 high pressure pipeline appears to be a viable option for delivering the full CO2 stream (3.5 MMCFPD) from the Russell ethanol plant to the Hall-Gurney Field (8 miles) and deliver it to an EOR site in a super critical state (above 1000#) at injection pressure for $1.00/MCF. West Texas prices are around $0.75/MCF, delivered. | |||
