GreenShift producing 4 percent corn oil extraction rates
In New York, GreenShift Corporation says that its patented corn oil extraction processes have consistently demonstrated record levels of performance of more than 4 gallons of corn oil for each 100 gallons of ethanol produced.
In the final rule for the expanded Renewable Fuel Standard published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency earlier this year, the EPA stated its prediction that 70% of the U.S. corn ethanol industry will use backend corn oil extraction technology to produce over 680,000,000 gallons of corn oil per year by 2022, a rate which corresponds to about 6.5 gallons of corn oil for every 100 gallons of ethanol produced. The EPA also estimated that ethanol producers using backend corn oil extraction could increase their profit by about $0.079 per gallon of ethanol produced.
