In California, Kern County supervisors are expected to vote tomorrow on permits for a 55 Mgy corn ethanol plant proposed for Famoso. Cilion, the plant’s developer, is completing a similar plant near Modesto.
Last October, Global Fuels proposed a multi-feedstock 220 Mgy ethanol plant in Kern County. The project, which will be developed with assistance from Cargill and Delta T, would create 200 direct jobs, and expect to commence production in late 2009, and would be built near Mojave.
