Re: Rail line to be restored
Its not the corn that is a major issue though its the fact that there is no natural gas none what so ever.
Here is a quote from the yankton paper
" the difference is that we are 50 miles from the nearest natural gasline, whereas 98% of the ethanol plants are fueld by natural gas" "We will be the first ethanol plant in the United States fueld by biomass. We will meet one-third of our needs from our own corn (fiber), and the other two-thirds will cme from corn stalks"
"We will operate 100% biomass, so we will be the greenest plant in the U.S.
Fagen is a big company I am not shure but I would assume they would be using ICM-Phoenix technology (most of the plants they build do) I know ICM-Phoenix has a methane digester that would be operated on Sweetwater or syrup and the bi-product of the cellulosic ethanol (product out of centrifuses which has no feed value). However in all of the press-releases I have heard nothing about producing cellulosic ethanol. I have heard of burning cornstalks in with natural gas but never like they are proposing but I guess I will wait and see.
