Visalia producer gets DOE grant to make new plant
The Visalia Times-Delta reports that a Visalia, California refinery has been awarded $20.4 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a pilot plant that would boost ethanol yield from agricultural waste. EdeniQ, a spinoff of Altra Biofuels in Goshen, shares the grant with Logos Technologies, an Arlington, Virginia research company. The Goshen plant, which uses corn to produce ethanol, will be modified to use cellulosic feedstock.
