Roxal Bioenergy ethanol plant ordered to shut down due to odor

In the Philippines, Roxal Bioenergy’s ethanol plant in Barangay Nagasi, La Carlota City was ordered to stop production for 30 days as of September 9 due to a foul odor that was being emitted from the facility. The company told the national stock exchange that the cease and desist order can be lifted as soon as the company demonstrates it has taken significant mitigation measures to eliminate the odor. As a result of the odor, the plant shut down 15 days earlier than scheduled for annual maintenance.
