Seeking Alpha gives a detailed description of the ethanol production process being used by Hawkeye Holdings’ (HKI) as extracted from their S-1 filing of May 30. Even more information on the financials of ethanol production can be found in the S-1 filing. Very interesting for those interested in more process details. Written for the layman.

What is the projected production (in gallons) of ethanol in the future- maybe by 2020 or 2030?

Compare alternatives.
Ethanol on all conservation reserve land produced from switchgrass would be about 30 billion gallons per year. Reducing the 120 billion gallons of gas used for vehicles per year by 25%.
200 mpg plugin hybrids would reduce gas consumption by 80%.
Electric vehicles would use no gas.
However ethanol also takes away the 15 to 30% absorption of CO 2 by conservation reserve land. This means the net effect from ethanol on CO 2 would be to actually increase it. And it would not lower the price of liquid fuel either.
Electricity costs the equivalent of 75 cents per gallon.

Do you have any ideas as to how to reduce energy costs in the conversion of biomass into ethanol for fuel
