Currently U.S. BioEnergy has two plants under construction—U.S. Bio Albert City, a 100 MMgy plant near Albert City, Iowa, scheduled to begin production in October; and U.S. Bio Woodbury, a 45 MMgy plant near Lake Odessa, Mich., scheduled to come on line in September. U.S. BioEnergy looks to acquire 100 percent ownership of Platte Valley Fuel Ethanol and also has negotiated a large share in Val-E Ethanol in Ord, Neb. This project has just started construction and is also a Fagen-designed plant. The current expansion projects underway for U.S. BioEnergy “will take us up to just over 250 million gallons by the end of 2006,” Lee said. (责任编辑:泉水) |
