Coshocton Ethanol opens 55 Mgy plant in Ohio

In Ohio, Coshocton Ethanol will commence operations today, after completion of a two-year construction period. The 55 Mgy corn ethanol plant will utilize 20 million bushel of corn and create 41 direct jobs. The company is a subsidiary of Altra Biofuels.

Earlier this month, the Coshocton (Ohio) Tribune reported that a lawsuit filed by Coshocton County Citizens for A Safe Community opposing the new ethanol plant has been dismissed. The suit alleged that federal and state grant and loans were obtained based on inaccurate application data.

Last August, parent company Altra Biofuels announced that it had secured financing for the Coshocton facility and a 100 Mgy plant in Cloverdale, Ind. The Cloverdale plant is scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2008.
