摘要

New York—Bankrupt US ethanol producer VeraSun has halted production at several of its plants as it deals with financing restraints, the company said December 4. The company said court-approved financing granted this week will be used to maintain staff, but not production, at its plants in Central City (100 mil gal/year) and Ord (50 million gal/year), Nebraska; Dyersville (110 million gal/year) and Albert City (110 million gal/year), Iowa; Hankinson (110 million gal/year), North Dakota; and Woodbury (50 million gal/year), Michigan.
