Using corn as feeedstock, determine the amount of alkane that could be produced from Virents bioforming process, with glucose as an intermediate. The hydrolysis yield (0.738 kg glucose/kg dry corn) can be applied.

a) If C1 C4 can be sold as propane, and C5 C9 and C10+ can be sold as gasoline, how much revenue could generate from 330,000 tonnes of wet corn? Whosale price of propane = 1.049$/L . Whosale price of gasoline = 0.699$/L.

b) What is the total net revenue per liter of bio-gasoline, including a co-product credit for bio- propane?

c) What is the total input cost for corn and hydrogen, if corn costs US$5/bu, and hydrogen costs US$5 per thousand standard cubic feet (MSCF)?

d) If other costs (interest, maintenance, depreciation, SG&A, etc.) total 12 cents (US)/L, what is the overall profit (or loss) per liter of bio-gasoline produced from corn?
