April 1, 2002New Ethanol Plant in North Dakota FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- A company is working on plans for a third ethanol plant in North Dakota that would produce 30 million gallons of the fuel additive each year.
Lurgi PSI of Memphis, Tenn., will help the Dakota Renewable Fuels venture choose a site and design and build the $45 million ethanol facility, consultant Steve Sershen said.
He said the location will be critical to the project's success, with local corn prices, water quality, rail access and natural gas service all important factors.
Dakota Renewable Fuels has identified four possible locations for the plant, likely in the southeastern corner of the state, vice chairman Mike Clemens said.
As planned, the plant would buy 11 million bushels of corn to produce 30 million gallons of ethanol. It would join two other ethanol factories, in Walhalla and Grafton, that together can produce 34 million gallons each year.
OWENS ANNOUNCES GRANT FROM U.S. FOREST SERVICE FOR PROJECT TO REDUCE FIRE RISK
(DENVER) – The Governor’s Office of Energy Management and Conservation (OEMC) has received a $74,000 grant from the U.S. Forest Service for a project to help reduce the risk of fire in Colorado’s forests, Governor Bill Owens announced today.
The Biomass Energy Project will assess potential uses and markets for small-diameter wood waste, a currently unused byproduct of the forest restoration process. The wood waste is a potential source of energy production.
“To reduce the risk of fire, it is essential that hazardous fuel be removed from our forests. Since this woody residue burns intensely, it could be harnessed as a source of energy. This project will help assess the feasibility of using forest thinnings for generating heat and power, creating a win/win proposition,” Owens said.
OEMC will evaluate potential sites for biomass heat and power generation facilities. The goals are to develop economically viable markets for small-diameter wood biomass and reduce the risk of fire, especially in Colorado’s urban-wildlife interface.
The newly adopted National Fire Plan calls for the timely removal of hazardous fuels from forests and the development of new markets for the material in order to make removal profitable.
“The forest restoration project aims to generate thousands of tons of small-diameter wood each year. Today this material is a fire hazard, but in the future it could be a viable power source,” said OEMC executive director Rick Grice.
This is the first time OEMC and the U.S. Forest Service have partnered on a project. For more information, visit OEMC Web site at (www.state.co.us/oemc/programs/forest.htm) or the National Fire Plan Web site (www.fs.fed.us/r2/nfp).
