(I hope this plant is doing better than a POET cellulosic plant in Emmetsburg, IA, because it shut down.)
The railroad was a former Northern Pacific route.
A cellulostic ethanol is becoming more real. This ethanol will be shipped to California because it has a lower carbon footprint than corn ethanol, and "the California market that pays for reduced-carbon
fuel." Lignin, which is an organic polymer found in the rigid cell walls of plants, "would be shipped to Europe to meet mandates there for cutting carbon emissions in producing electricity....It has about the same amount energy (British thermal units) as a high-quality coal." [agweek]

Lukas Irons There is also a proposed Soybean Processing plant going in when they can find more funding..The Cargill Malt plant closed.
Dennis DeBruler Wow concerning the closure. Is big brewer beer drinking down that much?
Dennis DeBruler The shipping of lignin to Europe should help the St. Lawrence Seaway. Europe must have an aggressive carbon credit program to pay for shipping power plant fuel across the ocean. Then I remembered that Europe doesn't have a lot of coal.
