Mini-Retreat Goals
• To share information about faculty research projects and interests related to Biofuels and Water Resources
• Identify critical research areas for new projects
• Kick-start new initiatives and collaborations amongst UNL faculty, scientists at other institutions, and with the private sector– Interdisciplinary to tackle complex issues– Need for both biophysical and socio-
economic sciences

Over time, water use by existing ethanol plants is becoming more efficient. The current average is about 4 gallons of water per gallon of ethanol produced from corn grain. New plants require about 3 gallons H2O per gallon EtOH.

Even though the ethanol industry will have the capacity to consume 70% of the state's corn grain by next harvest, this will likely highly depend on economics and how far these plants are pushed, since these numbers represent a maximum production level. Significant corn acreage increases in 2007 will boost production by perhaps ~10%.

A Nebraska Water-Biofuel Perspective
• NE has ≈5 million acres of irrigated corn– Requires about 1.6x1012 gallons of
water/year, or roughly 1 million gallons per NE citizen
• New ethanol plants use about 3 gallons of water per gallon of ethanol produced– NE currently has about 1 billion gallons of
annual ethanol production capacity, which requires 3x109 gallons of water, which is <0.2% of water used to irrigate NE corn
