Some information about capital costs in the ethanol industry is now available because the results of a recent USDA Cost of Production Survey are now available [4]. The capital cost and capacity data of the firms in this survey are used for a statistical estimate of the capital costcapacity relationship.
There are two technologies in the ethanol industry. Most existing dry mills are small, with capacities range of 5–30 million gallons per year (MGY). However, dry mills constructed during the current expansion are from 40 to 100MGY of capacity. Dry mills produce one composite byproduct; distillers dried grains (DDG) contains the residual protein, oil and fiber after the carbohydrate is removed for starch processing and ethanol production.
The wet mills of the United States tend to be larger. The capacity ranges from 50MGY and up
to 330MGY. Wet milling is a more complex technology; the byproduct is separated into corn gluten feed with about 20% protein, corn gluten meal with about 60% protein, and edible oil.
Many wet mills of the United States are also multifunctional, with a ...

The third factor, relating and supporting industries explains that when local industries compete against one another, this spurs the emergence of cost effective and innovative inputs. This very well indicates that in the future biofuel demand will lead to more innovative, cheaper production. The last factor, firm strategy, structure, and rivalry
protections for sugar came in the form of a tariff on foreign produced sugar, passed in 1789 (Alvarez, and Polopolus). Over the next 200 years, close to 30 different laws were passed that helped shut out imported sugar, allowing America's sugar production industries to flourish (Alvarez, and Polopolus). In 1934, the Sugar Act was passed (Alvarez, and Polopolus). This law, in essence, placed a quota on the amount of sugar that would be produced, as well as one for imported sugar from outside the United States

Grape juice gets its flavour from the sugars, organic acids and phenolics, while the vitamins, minerals
compounds for example proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, polymers and pigments.To produce these products, microalgae are grown using carbon dioxide,sunlight and industrial wastes in open pond systems and photobioreactors . Usage of industrial wastes reduces cost of culture medium nutrients and also reduces environmental problems.The fuel that we obtain now are mostly from fossil fuels and they are not a renewable source of fuel. Thus it is important that we find another alternative source of fuel. The growth
1. Introduction In the present techno-economic era, the energy and environmental crises developed due to huge amount of cellulosic materials disposed as “waste”. Globally, the estimated quantity of the waste generation was 12 billion tons in a year 2002 of which 11 billion tons were industrial wastes and 1.6 billion tons were municipal solid waste. About 90 billion tons solid wastes will expected to be generated annually by the year 2025. Annually, Asia alone generates 4.4 billion tons of solid wastes

highly cross pollinated in nature, this crop requires specific, hot and humid climate for flowering (Gill et al, 2006). It is mainly propagated vegitatively by stem cutting and it gives many tillers at the bottom of the stool. Although the major industries are found in Brazil, China and India, the crop is also commercially produced in many other countries, including Ethiopia. Sugar cane has been 1.71 billion tones cane production and 71.7 tones/ha yield in 23.9 million hectares in the World; 89.594
Industry Overview The Oil & Gas Industry within the Energy Sector includes Oil and Gas exploration and Production, Oil and Gas Refining, Storage and Transportation. The three major focus areas of the oil and gas industry is firstly; exploration and production of oil and natural gas known as the “upstream”, secondly; transportation, storage, and selling refined oil and gas products called the “midstream’, and thirdly; refining and promoting of crude oil or “downstream”. The major international oil

With its ideal agricultural climate, Brazil boasts a healthy export trade in coffee, sugar, textiles, and electrical equipment. Brazil is rich in ethanol, ore, iron, gemstones, steal and oil. Recent discoveries of oil sources that could potentially hold more than 9 million barrels of oil is helping to confirm Brazil as a major new oil exploration frontier. With that being said, Brazil is expected to
