One of our greatest resources is the boundless reservoir of innovative, creative entrepreneurship that is changing the way the world works. A shining example of this resource in action is our continually growing and evolving domestic ethanol industry. The emergence of the domestic ethanol industry as a force in the nation’s motor fuel market has never been more apparent than in 2011. With nearly 14 billion gallons of production, ethanol is now ten percent of America’s fuel supply and 25 percent of all the motor fuel pro- duced from domestic resources. The growth of the domestic industry is having concrete impacts on everyday Americans. It is helping more than 400,000 of our friends and neighbors find work or keep the job they have. It is a $43 billion industry that contributes more than $8 billion in taxes to state, federal, and local governments. And, it has lowered the price of gasoline by more than $0.25 per gallon on average over the past decade. These benefits are impressive

Minutes: Att. #1-3 Chairman Klein: Opened the hearing on SB 2296. All members were present. Senator Wanzek, District 29: See attachment #1 for testimony in support of the bill. (6:00)Senator Roers: You talked about the Dakota spirit ethanol plant and simultaneously Blue Flint? Are those the same thing? Senator Wanzek: They’re affiliated with Midwestern AgEnergy. Chairman Klein: This was established three sessions ago, you’re adding a bit of language to allow the bank to determine the types of projects and then changing the dollar figures? Senator Wanzek: If you look in the century code, this particular section has a title of fuel production facility, and working with legislative counsel they said you can’t change the title. But if you make a statement, the one the bank can utilize to get the funds to make a guarantee that they feel is… Chairman Klein: They shall establish the types of projects that are eligible. That doesn’t interfere with what your goal is to deal with these products? Senator Wanzek: No, and there are other added values of benched projects that want to work together, cooperate together with like some of these ethanol plants and providing some really neat added value options and opportunities.

NORTH DAKOTA ENERGY INDEPENDENCE INITIATIVE - REPORT TO LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. During the 2007-08 interim, the department of commerce shall convene an energy policy commission for the purpose of developing a comprehensive energy policy for the state that addresses: 1. The policy of this state to stimulate the development of renewable and traditional fossil-based energy within the state with the goal of providing secure, diverse, sustainable, and competitive energy supplies that can be produced and secured within the state to assist the nation in reducing its dependence on foreign energy sources. 2. The policy of this state to promote the development of new technologies, provide innovative opportunities, create additional employment and wealth that contributes to economic development, and decrease dependence on foreign energy supplies. 3. Growth of the fossil fuel and renewable energy industries within this state to encourage the state’s competitiveness for both the domestic and export markets. 4. The assistance the state provides in research, development, and marketing of North Dakota-produced energy sources, including biodiesel, biomass, coal, ethanol, geothermal, hydroelectric, hydrogen, natural gas, oil, solar, and wind. 5. The need to: a. Expand the use of existing energy resources such as coal, oil, gas, wind, and hydropower by supporting continued research and development of technologies designed to enhance the use of traditional fuels. b. Examine ways to diversify the state’s energy resource base by encouraging the growth of renewable sources such as wind, biomass, geological, solar, and water.

    2. Implement Combined Heat and Power in the Electric Sector 2. Implement Combined Heat and Power in the Electric Sector 1. Profile through heat, largely in the condensation of steam.1 CHP captures much of this waste heat as useful thermal output, ne strategy for reducing carbon dioxide substituting for heat that would have been produced 2 (CO2) emissions is to capture the waste heat separately. Whereas generating electricity and thermal from electric generating units (EGUs) as a energy separately might have an overall efficiency ranging secondary output to serve other purposes, from 40 to 55 percent, CHP applications can achieve Otypically central heating and cooling or industrial processes system efficiencies of 60 to 80 percent (Figure 2-1). These in neighboring facilities. As described in the context efficiency gains are accompanied by fuel savings that make of boiler optimization in Chapter 1, heat losses can be CHP a cost-effective and commercially available solution for recovered from the flue gases or cooling system to improve reducing CO2 emissions. CHP both improves businesses’ plant efficiency (see Table 1-2). In addition to using waste bottom lines and delivers system-wide benefits like reduced heat to preheat boiler feedwater and meet other operational air pollution, improved grid reliability, and avoided electric thermal requirements, plants can also capture and pipe losses on transmission and distribution networks. With heat locally to satisfy other co-located demand for thermal CHP currently accounting for 8 percent of US generating energy. Combined heat and power (CHP), also known as capacity and 12 percent of electricity,3 it is regarded as a 4 cogeneration, is the term used to describe this variety of widely underutilized opportunity for emissions reductions.
