Domestic Fuel

A South Dakota-based cellulosic ethanol company has gone public and changed its name.

KL Process Design Group is now KL Energy Corp, a move that will help the company generate funding to develop its second commercial scale cellulosic ethanol production facility.

Since January of 2008, the KL has been producing cellulosic ethanol using waste wood as feedstock, at a commercial scale facility near Upton, Wyoming. The plant has been supplying fuel grade ethanol this year for the American LeMans Series.
