Missouri Ethanol Plant Expansion

A Missouri ethanol plant is undergoing a $2 million expansion that will increase the plant’s capacity and provide a larger market for locally produced corn.
POET Biorefining – Laddonia was built in September 2006 with a capacity of 45 million gallons per year (MGPY), but it actually is producing almost 52 MGPY, according to General Manager Robin Venn. The expansion will add another 5 million gallons of capacity.
“The plant itself is running very efficiently,” Venn said. “It’s performing above and beyond expectations.”
The additional capacity will allow the plant to purchase another $3 million worth of corn per year at today’s prices, Venn said, boosting the local economy even as the country is facing difficult financial times.

Kudo’s to your operation. I have much respect for POET. Keep it up and you will be greatly rewarded.
We should put max effort and resources toward ethanol fuel production. Personally I will drive miles to fuel up on U.S. produced fuel. I don’t have a flex fuel auto, but mix about 30% ethanol with regular fuel. Lol, sometimes the fuel doesn’t mix and wow my engine loves the high octane fuel. This economic sector a winning proposition, even upon our recession. Would the Detroit folks would exploit the fuel to max. What a win win to purchase American autos tuned and Engineered to burn American fuel. Diesel turbo high compression hydrous etc. Get r done.
