Abstract:

This 2009 study, funded by the Southwest Region University Transportation Center, investigates

competing ethanol supply chains terminating in the State of Texas. Midwest corn ethanol and

Brazilian sugarcane ethanol constitute two sources of the biofuel necessary for synthesis of the ten

percent ethanol, ninety percent gasoline fuel blend, commonly referred to as E10. The updated 2007

Renewable Fuel Standard passed by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush in

December 2007, promotes national availability of E10. As a follow up to the 2008 Bioenergy and

Alternative Fuels Scoping Study, this report discusses the requisite equipment, time, and costs to

transport ethanol to the Lone Star State from its Midwestern or Latin American sources. Federal

biofuels policy along with new transportation technology, such as pipeline movement of renewable

fuels, will largely determine whether domestic or international ethanol is more economically

competitive in six Texas fuel markets. If Congress chose to repeal the $0.54 per gallon domestic

ethanol offset tariff, sugarcane ethanol pipelined inland from the coast could be more competitively

priced than the corn variety as far west as the El Paso metropolitan area.
