Ethanol Plants Could Make Lots Of Money

Will Ethanol plants continue to make money if costs go up? The Blade, Toledo, Ohio - May 22, 2006 The country's fascination with ways to curb oil imports has ethanol-producing plants springing up throughout the country. The corn-fed refineries making fuel for cars and pickup trucks are expected to be quite profitable this year and next, but after that, they may not be money machines, experts said. Some plants bring in a 30 percent return on investment, and others are in the lower double digits, experts said. But some have much more modest profits. The ventures can be risky. With hefty investments of $80 million for a 50 million-gallon-a-year plant to $140 million for twice that size, recouping investment takes more than a couple of years. Success depends on location, corn prices, ethanol prices, fuel prices, and other factors, they say. Jeff Ehlert, president of Great Lakes Ethanol LLC, which is building a 50 million-gallon plant near Blissfield, Mich., said his plant's profit projections are rising now as higher gasoline prices prompt demand for more ethanol and gasoline suppliers use ethanol to replace a harmful fuel additive called MTBE. But Mr. Ehlert fears that profits will "be bouncing all around" over the long term. "It should be real good for the next few years, but after that we don't think it will be as good," he said. Thomas Byrne, head of Byrne & Co. Ltd., of Preston, Minn., which has helped develop more than 30 ethanol plants, said "the thing to remember is it's a commodity-based industry. Sometimes it's going to be good, sometimes it will be bad." Of nearly 100 plants operating in the United States, most were built to turn profits when the price of ethanol delivered to a terminal market, such as Chicago, hits $1.30 to $1.35 a gallon, Mr. Byrne said. A year ago, ethanol terminal prices were down to a $1 to a $1.20 a gallon, and some plants lost money, he said. But with ethanol prices at the terminal hovering between $2.70 and $2.90, some plants now are swimming in profits. And Mr. Byrne said he's bullish on ethanol and bets that prices will never go down to $1.20 again. "The plants right now are very profitable if managed right and in the right location," he said. Mr. Byrne said those high profits are based on plentiful low-priced corn, which has been the case the last several years. But the price of corn has been working its way up. And natural gas, an ethanol plant's second-largest expense, also is getting more expensive. Over the long term, those two factors could cut profitability, he said. Feed corn is a critical fuel source, so a plant typically can have an annual purchase expense of $70 million or more. If a corn shortage sends prices up quickly and ethanol prices drop, perhaps because of lower gasoline prices, what looked to be a sure profit can drop, Mr. Byrne said. "The problem is, your bottom line can change by $100 million pretty quickly either way, and that's pretty significant." But for now, profits are high. "If you have a 50 million-gallon plant and ethanol hits $2.30, you've made $50 million. Your returns now are very, very good," Mr. Byrne said. A typical 50 million-gallon plant stands to make additional millions. Distillers' dried grain - the byproduct from distilling the starch from corn during the ethanol process - can fetch $12 million to $13 million. Cattle farmers buy the product. Carbon dioxide, another byproduct, is worth about $2 million to bottlers and dry-ice makers, Mr. Byrne said. A plant's payroll and maintenance total less than $2 million annually. Alex Samardzich, chief executive of Ace Ethanol LLC, which runs a 40 million-gallon plant at Stanley, Wis., said local agricultural issues greatly affect a plant's profits. "Sometimes there's too much corn, sometimes not enough. What you'll find is with profitability, it ranges across the board," he said.
