Texas ethanol plant to use corn, milo and manure
 
Aug. 29 --

Panda Ethanol Inc. plans to build a 100-million-gallons-per-year ethanol plant in Sherman County, Texas, the company said Aug. 29.

The facility will refine 40 million bushels of corn and milo per year into renewable fuel. It also annually will use more than 1 billion pounds of cattle manure to generate steam the plant will use to manufacture the ethanol.

This is the fourth large-scale ethanol project the Dallas-based company has announced. It plans to power two others by cattle manure as well.
