摘要

S.D.-based corn-ethanol producer POET announced October 23 that farmers are now harvesting and delivering corn cob bales for the projected 2014 opening of “Project LIBERTY,” a 20-million-gallon-per-year cellulosic-ethanol production facility the company is developing with Royal DSM in Emmetsburg, Iowa. The future production facility will use crop residues as feedstock such as corn cobs, leaves, husks and some stalk to produce fuel-grade cellulosic-ethanol, according to a statement issued by POET.
