Abstract: Capital costs to construct a conventional ethanol plant producing 100 million gallons per year are $170.593 million. Average annual net returns average $59.216 million with a 1% chance of annual net returns less than $0. Ethanol production stimulates total economic output of $314.221 million in the Georgia economy. Wages and benefits total $20.181 million for 408 jobs in Georgia. State and local governments derive a total of $4.572 million in tax revenues from ethanol production.
