Trend toward DDG corn oil extraction is picking up speed
January 26, 2012 By Ken Anderson - ENTIRE ARTICLE HERE
More and more ethanol producers are starting to extract some of the corn oil from their distiller grains.*
At the recent Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit in Des Moines, the director of ethanol services for the Omaha-based Gavilon Group—Randy Ives—discussed the trend towards corn oil extraction. (Gavilon is one of the largest marketers of distillers grains in the U.S. markets.)
LISTEN TO Randy Ives
His prediction made at the IOWA Renewable Fuels Summit - (that I had reported on Tuesday) - of the 200 plants - 105 will be extracting corn oil by summer. That is 60% of capacity! By this summer!

PS *I think most of us GreenShifters know that the corn oil does not get "extracted from ddgs." Rather it gets extracted from the whole stilage and, in the process, less corn oil ends up in the Dried Distillers Grains. HERE DAVE WINSNESS, the CTO of GreenShift and the inventor of the process has a few words to say on exactly those points in an older interview.

Has anyone been able to find where GreenShift and Marquis filed for a grant from the state of Illinois for a biodiesel plant?
105 extracting by summer. Isnt GreenShift the only legal way?
Remember that Ethanol Plants normally come in multiples of 50mmgy. 50 and 100mmgy are common but 40 and 110mmgy are not uncommon. Also a few mega-giants out there.
So 105 is not 60% of 200 or 204. It is 60% of CAPACITY.
Nowadays "CAPACITY" in the ETHANOL industry is basically the same as "production" since nearly everyone is producing at full or even OVER capacity.
So I think we are really talking 60% of ethanol production harnessed to produce corn oil by this summer.
It is GreenShifts position that there is presently no known extraction method that is not covered by their patents.
Welcome licensees, beware infringers
Will the next newsletter indicate GrenShift refinancing and eliminating YAGI from the picture?
60% capacity, even if the proportion of infringers and licensed stays the same 4+ billion would be with Gers by this summer.
