DTN Delivers Ethanol Economics Dashboard to Capital Markets
DTN ProphetX(TM) Ethanol Edition provides comprehensive real-time and over-the-horizon intelligence on the fundamentals driving the short and long term economics of the ethanol markets
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 9 -- DTN, a leading business-to-business provider of real-time market information services, today announced the release of a robust economic analysis tool for the ethanol investment community. DTN ProphetX(TM) Ethanol Edition is a powerful and comprehensive market data service designed for investors evaluating equity plays, or financial intuitions considering project financing for new ethanol plant or expansion projects.
Investment and financing opportunities in today's explosive ethanol markets are attractive and abundant. The market, however, is characterized and driven by historically volatile refined fuels prices, shifting trends in grains production and pricing and extreme seasonality of natural gas prices. DTN ProphetX Ethanol Edition provides a comprehensive and dynamic view of the economics of ethanol production, including real time corn and natural gas prices, ethanol spot market and futures prices, and highly localized prices of substitute products.
Today's ethanol investors are utilizing the proprietary DTN Corn Crush Calculator(TM) to evaluate the potential profitability of new ethanol plants and expansions, and employing the what-if tools to ensure that investments will offer an attractive return in a wide variety of market conditions. The DTN Ethanol Sensitivity Calculator(TM) provides investors with powerful tools to dynamically recalculate projected profitability based on a range of corn, natural gas, and ethanol pricing scenarios.
"DTN ProphetX Ethanol Edition provides an essential edge to any institution involved in the financing of ethanol production projects," said Tom Manuel, ASA Biofuels. "This is the single most valuable tool or service available for instantly and dynamically evaluating the impact of changing economics on ethanol profitability. With DTN rapidly becoming the industry standard ethanol information resource, using this product ensures we know what others thinking."
"DTN is excited to offer this new service to the investment and banking community, leveraging and building upon our strong leadership position in the dynamic ethanol industry, said Robert Gordon, chief executive officer, DTN. "As the only market intelligence tool geared specifically to the ethanol market, this service is a must have for all ethanol investors and financial stakeholders.
