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.
