If every project under construction is completed to specifications and delivers upon its production capacity as listed, United States cellulosic ethanol production will be more than triple that in 2017.: Supported
Corn fiber cellulose is becoming a more popular feedstock for new cellulosic ethanol production facilities.: Not supported
If all California (CA) and Iowa (IA) projects under construction are completed to specifications and deliver upon production capacity as listed, the percent increase in California ethanol production from 2017 would be more than 200 times the percent increase in Iowa ethanol production from 2017.: Not supported
The table below shows commercial cellulosic ethanol projects listed at the time the report was prepared in 2017, when the United States had approximately 30 million gallons per year of cellulosic ethanol production capacity.
For each of the following, select  \(Supported\) if the statement listed is one that can be properly inferred from the information in each of the three tabs. Otherwise, select  \(Not\)  \(supported\).
| Project Name | State | Capacity (million gallons) | Feedstock | Deconstruction Technology | Under Construction |

Official Solution:
The under construction CA capacity is 46 million gallons, and the under construction IA built capacity is 8.5 million gallons.
The CA production capacity upon completion of all under construction projects would increase 4500%, while the IA production capacity upon completion of all under construction projects would increase slightly more than 30%.
4500 is only 150 times 30.
Correct answer:
If every project under construction is completed to specifications and delivers upon its production capacity as listed, United States cellulosic ethanol production will be more than triple that in 2017. "Supported"

The current CA built capacity is 1 million gallons, and the current IA built capacity is 27.6 million gallons.
The under construction CA capacity is 46 million gallons, and the under construction IA built capacity is 8.5 million gallons.
The CA production capacity upon completion of all under construction projects would increase 4500%, while the IA production capacity upon completion of all under construction projects would increase slightly more than 30%.
4500 is only 150 times 30.
