Pennsylvania Gets First Ethanol Plant
BioEnergy International was the first to break ground in Pennsylvania and construct an ethanol plant. Pennsylvania will be home to a new Bionol Clearfield biorefinery.
BioEnergy International, LLC announces ground breaking for the Bionol Clearfield LLC, 100 mgpy corn ethanol biorefinery under construction in Clearfield, Pennsylvania.
The corn and cellulosic pilot plants to be built in Clearfield are core to BioEnergy’s mission of integrating the development of novel biocatalysts for use in innovative, state-of-the-art biorefineries. Guided by a strategic business model and supported by proprietary technology, BioEnergy is a responsible leader in the new industrial revolution.
“Renewable fuels like ethanol offer this nation an immediate opportunity to begin the hard work of mitigating the impacts of climate change, developing greater energy independence and creating jobs and economic opportunity at time when the economy faces significant challenges. The U.S. ethanol industry stands eager to join with Pennsylvanians and the people at BioEnergy International to help meet the energy and environmental challenges this country faces,” said Renewable Fuels Association President Bob Dinneen.

I think 2nd generation biofuels are one of the most important challenge for the next years. We are working hard to develope such plants in Europe.

I use e85 all the time in my ’99 Voyager. It’s available in Mifflin county at Tom’s, Milroy & MinitMart, Lewistown. Also available in St. College. The biggest problem facing ethanol is the relentless negative propaganda campaign funded by big oil. This new facility is a victory for PA & energy independence.

Question, how many Clearfield county residents are there at that plant and what is the total number of employees at the site?

I live in Centre County PA, and our one and only E85 station is at a very small Minit Mart that’s hard to get in and out of. So the fact that it’s technically “available” doesn’t do me much good at all.
Most of the E85 stations in PA are clustered around Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The rest of us Pennsylvanians are more or less out of luck.
The biggest problem facing E85 isn’t “big oil propaganda,” it’s finding a place where you can actually buy E85. Ethanol isn’t going to take off until there’s a much larger dealer network.

do you happen to have any coloring books or things suitable for 4th graders
