Highwater Ethanol awaiting green light to boost ethanol production to 70.2 mypg

In Minnesota, Highwater Ethanol has applied for permission from state environmental authorities to expand its air emissions permit in order to boost ethanol production to 70.2 million gallons per year from the current 59.5 million gallons in an effort to boost efficiencies and reduce the cost of production in a time of low margins but it will only take advantage of the new limits if the market allows. The permit is expected to be approved before August 1.
