Ebay has posted a Digital Service Efficiency DSE dashboard online that shows the full cost, performance and environmental impact of its customer buy and sell transactions — and it’s hoping other data centers will follow suit.
The company says by releasing the DSE, and its corresponding data, it will establish a baseline for and then set productivity and efficiency goals for , which include:
Increase transactions per kWh by percent year over year.
Reduce cost per transaction by percent year over year.
Reduce carbon per transaction by percent year over year.
Cellulosic ethanol producers will shift their focus from techno turkey phone number logy enhancements to logistical planning over the next five to years in an effort to rein in capital costs, suggesting the industry is maturing, said BNEF’s lead biofuel analyst Harry Boyle.
Globally, there are enzymatic hydrolysis pilots, nine demonstration-stage projects and semi-commercial scale plants either announced, commissioned or due online shortly, according to the survey. Five of the semi-commercial plants are in the US and more are expected to open in Brazil in the near future, BNEF said. A semi-commercial facility with a capacity of million liters per year requires an initial capital outlay of about million.
By , when second- and third-generation plants with capacities between m and m liters will be commissioned, initial capital costs per installed liter are expected to fall from to due to economies of scale and a reduction in over-engineering, BNEF said.
Meanwhile, some corn-based ethanol producers are struggling to maintain profits.
Some simple corn-based ethanol plants, which can only produce ethanol and distillers grains from corn, have temporarily shut down as production costs have exceeded revenue, according to a report released by the US Energy Information Agency. As of January , the number of idled plants had grown to at least .
Profit margins at plants that can recover other products, such as corn oil, have been cents to cents per gallon higher than plants without that capability, the EIA said. Margins at plants without corn oil recovery have been negative see graph, forcing plant shutdowns in Nebraska, Illinois and Minnesota.
