ICRI is to close on the acquisition of ALL Energy Company in the near future, there being no impediments to such closing. ALL Energy Company was organized to operate as an ethanol producer, focusing primarily on the production and sale of ethanol and its co-products.
The Ethanol Industry
In general, public policy currently is strongly in favor of the development of sources of renewable fuels. The ethanol industry has grown significantly over the last few years, expanding production capacity at a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 20% from 2000 to 2006, and is expected to continue to grow as a result of its favorable production economics relative to gasoline, due to ethanol’s clean burning characteristics, a shortage of domestic petroleum refining capacity, geopolitical concerns and federally mandated renewable fuel usage, like those proposed by President Bush in his State of the Union Address on January 23, 2007. According to the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), domestic ethanol production has increased from 1.3 billion gallons in 1997 to a current production capacity of approximately 5.4 billion gallons.
