Next Generation Fuel on the Rise

Posted 9 September 2014 in

Big things are happening in Iowa. For the second week in a row, a new cellulosic ethanol facility is coming online — one of four new cellulosic ethanol facilities opening in the U.S. before the end of the year.

Located in Galva, Iowa, Quad County Corn Processors’ Adding Cellulosic Ethanol (ACE) project is turning corn kernel fiber into low-emission renewable fuel. This first-of-its-kind facility is the result of a $9 million investment and is expected to produce 3.75 million gallons per year of cellulosic ethanol from a feedstock already onsite.

Cellulosic ethanol is a low-emission, sustainable biofuel produced from agricultural waste. Blending that ethanol into our fuel will help to reduce our dependence on foreign oil — and make our air cleaner.
