Ethanex proposes 132 Mgy ethanol plant for Kansas, as Jayhawk State biofuel development gathers momentum

In Kansas, Ethanex has proposed a 132 Mgy ethanol plant to be constructed at the Jeffrey Energy Center in Pottawatomie County. The proposed plant will have zero carnon emissions and will not require an independent water source.

Kansas ethanol development has picked up again foillowing an early 2007 lull.

Kansas Department of Health and Environment Secretary Rod Bremby approved construction of Dial Energy’s 124 Mgy corn ethanol plant in Dodge City. Also, a new 100 Mgy ethanol plant was announced for Rosalie, KS in August.

Kansas ranks sixth among US states in ethanol production, with 657 million gallons of production capacity, or 5% of total US capacity.
