Spring 2019 construction start for N Dakota cellulosic ethanol plant
NewEnergyBlue is about six months away from breaking ground on a ground-breaking renewable fuel refinery. New Energy Spirit Biomass Refinery is forecast to turn 280,000 tons of North Dakota wheat straw into 16-million gallons a year of some of the lowest carbon auto fuel selling in California, the world’s fifth largest market.
Sited in Spiritwood Energy Park near Jamestown, North Dakota, the refinery is expected to produce not only cellulosic ethanol capable of exceeding California’s rigorous air-quality standards, but also clean lignin—without using any fresh water in our designed process.
New Energy Spirit Biomass Refinery, LLC will own and operate the plant. It’s funded in part by regional investors with a strong interest in the project’s sustainability and its invigorating contributions to the area economy.
