New biofuel goes commercial

摘要

THE future of corn-derived biofuels could be determined by the work done at a single ethanol plant in Lu-verne, Minn. At Agri-Energy, open since 1998, a change in ownership and direction is bringing a new opportunity to the facility that could revolutionize ethanol plants across the country. "I headed the farmer group that started this plant back in 1995," says Dave Kolsrud, president, Dak Renewable Energy. "As a farmer-owned ethanol plant, it has been extremely successful, but we had taken the plant as far as it could go. We were looking for the next step."
