Fiberight puts MSW-to-ethanol on hold in Iowa and opts for bio-CNG instead

In Iowa, Fiberight is switching gears and rather than build a garbage-to-ethanol facility at a mothballed ethanol plant in Blairsville, the company will instead produce biogas for CNG from the garbage. The move comes as a result of federal credits for creating on-site biogas while attracting investment for MSW-to-ethanol is very difficult at the moment. The company hopes to pick up the ethanol plans in the future but for now they are on hold.
