Ethanol Production
A good analogy is the labeling of cigarettes. Labeling gasoline that it contains ethanol is like labeling cigarettes that they contain paper – ethanol is the only part of gasoline that would not hurt you.

Cilion Successfully Completes its Second Round of Capital Raising ...
GOSHEN, Calif., Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Cilion, a California-based company with plans to build multiple ethanol plants, today announced one of the industry's largest capital raises totaling over $200 million. In June, the company announced the formation of Cilion with a partnership between Western Milling, one of California's largest grain milling companies, and Khosla Ventures, a venture assistance and venture capital firm. Cilion will operate modular, standardized 55 million gallons per year ethanol plants using India-based Praj technology. Using a variety of innovations, these plants will be greener and less expensive than standard corn-to-ethanol plants, therefore substantially reducing the consumption of traditional energy sources in ethanol production. Joining the partnership with Western Milling and Khosla Ventures for this round of equity are some notable investors including the Virgin Group through the newly formed Virgin Fuels, the Yucaipa Companies and Advanced Equities, Inc.
Ethanol Demand Sparks Higher Corn Prices
NEW YORK (AP) - Since gaining favor as an alternative fuel, demand for corn-derived ethanol has made the kerneled crop a hot commodity. While weather and supply still largely dictate the price of corn in the commodities market, rising demand for ethanol has been nudging corn prices higher. Corn futures are up 17 percent from a year ago. Of the total corn crop, corn for ethanol production is projected to reach 2.2 billion bushels in the year ending August 2007 - about a third of the size of the livestock feed market, which is projected at 6 billion bushels. Another 2.2 billion bushels are slated for general export. While not the largest end market for corn, ethanol has been gleaning some market-moving. "Ethanol has been under the radar for a long time - now it's not," said Steve Bruce, a corn and wheat broker with Man Financial.
