How Not To Transition to the Fuels of the Future Presentation before Alyeska Pipeline Service Company Anchorage, Alaska September 29, 2009 Lucian Pugliaresi Energy Policy Research Foundation, Inc. Washington, DC www.eprinc.org 1
EPRINC Fighting Ignorance About Oil Markets Since 1944* * It s taking longer than we thought. 2
If global demand increases without adequate investment in new production capacity, given natural decline rates, there is risk of a significant liquids supply gap.

THE TAKE AWAYS or EPRINC s UNIFIED THEORY Expectations Matter (and sometimes they come true) Recent Run Up in Oil Prices Was A Supply Disruption (no one saw it because it wasn t in the briefing book) Peak Oil is for Sissies What Things Cost are Important (especially if there are no benefits) Lower Oil Imports Are Important, But Do Not Buy as Much Energy Security as You Think Petroleum Products, i.e., gasoline, diesel, jet fuel are made from Crude Oil (this is more important than you think)

Why Did Oil Prices Climb So High? 8
1973-1974 Arab Oil Embargo NOT AN EMBARGO, but instead a Structural Shift in Ownership and Control of the Resources of the Middle East Fundamental Change in Expectations on Production from Middle East Producers As an Embargo it was a failure, market was integrated (lesson not yet learned by Chavez) 9

Enter the RIN A RIN (short for renewable identification number ) is a 38-character code that represents a gallon (or often a batch) of ethanol A blender that cannot meet its quota for the year could buy RINs from a blender who already has or expects to exceed the quota.. EPA set the blend requirement for ethanol in the U.S. gasoline pool at 10.21 percent for 2009. As ethanol approaches, and possibly exceeds the blend wall in 2010 or 2011 we may see some additional discounting in ethanol at the pump When the standard for renewable biofuels (ethanol) in the gasoline pool will increases from 10.5 billion gallons in 2009 to 12 billion gallons in 2010, incremental volumes will have to move through E-85 outlets. 39

What Were They Thinking? 15 billion gallon mandate easily achievable with growing gasoline demand -- blend wall would not exceed 10% (2007 forecast environment). Gasoline prices would rise making ethanol cost competitive an antidote to high gasoline prices. Mandates were needed to overcome resistance from the petroleum industry. Rural renaissance. And besides it would deliver substantial benefits in lower emissions of GHGs. 43
What did they miss? Gasoline demand did not grow, prices fell RFS mandates were volumetric driving fuel sector to the blend wall in next year or two. Ethanol not cost competitive under most scenarios. Ethanol substitutes for gasoline -- not crude oil -- leading to refinery output inefficiencies Food versus fuel problem. Carbon benefits under attack from ILUC. 44

Issues Identified in the EPRINC/EIA Workshop---Still Applicable to Future Ethanol Blending Compatibility issues have kept ethanol and blends out of petroleum pipelines. The industry is studying compatibility. While optimism is prevalent, if and to what extent ethanol and its blends will be deemed suitable for pipeline input is unclear. Ethanol movement by rail grows, with unit trains offering the best economics. Few ethanol plants and fuel terminals have sidings for rail cars/unit trains. Trucks commonly cover the first and last mile. New oil terminal facilities are configuring rail access where they can. Rail offers routes that suit ethanol transport geographically; pipelines more often are laid-out for Gulf Coast-North/NE transport. Ethanol needs to be supplied universally. Transport systems still need to be established for ESIA 2007 supply amounts. 50
Issues Identified in the EPRINC/EIA Workshop---Still Applicable to Future Ethanol Blending (Contd) Corn will likely be the feedstock of choice until 2015. Will there be enough supply? And at what cost to the food supply? 5.5 billion bushels will be needed, as well as significant new production capacity. E-10 is successfully operating in current model autos, most current model marine and small power applications. It was seen as the predominant fuel. Other higher blends were not seen as an option; a standardized E-85 product will absorb mandated ethanol amounts. Concern was expressed regarding the slow roll-out of E-85 51
Cellulosic Ethanol? Not a commercial product now Focal point of a great deal of R & D Many promising projects A number of corporate entities involved Still in the lab If Cellulosic moves beyond the lab, significant capital investment needed 16 bgy = 1 million bbls per day. That is the amount of crude produced in Texas! Policy-makers have placed a bet on something that does not exist If Cellulosic is not available as EISA mandates, EPA will likely issue a waiver 52

(SFC) - 1979 Use coal to produce 2 mbdoe by 1992 New jobs and revenues expected, The new Office of Coal Commerce in the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs calculates that every 4 million tons' annual increase in coal output creates 4,013 new jobs, producing a $76 million annual increase in personal income in the state, $6.7 million of which ends up in state and local tax coffers. Cost would be $88 billion over 10 years, partially funded by a windfall profits tax on oil companies. Reagan eventually ended the project in 1986 as oil prices collapsed.

Marginal oil wells tend to decline at about 3 percent per year. The loss in the depletion allowance will likely increase this rate of decline to anywhere from 4 to 13 percent per year. Natural gas production, which has experienced very low prices as gas values, at least for the near term have decoupled from crude oil, is probably even more at risk. 59
National Academies Study on Oil in the Sea Highlights from Oil in the Sea III (2003) Operational discharges from vessels in general and tankers in particular have substantially declined over the last 25 years. Only 1 percent of the oil discharges in North American waters is related to the extraction of petroleum. Although large quantities of VOC (volatile organic compounds) are emitted from tankers and production platforms, these consist of mostly lighter compounds and only small amounts deposit to the sea surface. 61
