York Ethanol Plant Project Bears Watching
*******
McCook Daily Gazette:
An ethanol project in York bears watching.
The U.S. Department of Energy awarded a $17 million grant to a Spanish company, Abengoa Bioenergy, for an experimental plant to make ethanol from plant fibers like cornstalks, switchgrass, wood and wheat straw.
Company spokesman Tom Robb says the technology is five to seven years away, and once the details are worked out at York, the research may be sold to other processors.
The company plans to build a cellulosic ethanol plant in Kansas using a $77 million Department of Energy grant. That production is expected to start in 2010.
