Sundrop selects developer for Lousiana plant, to begin construction this year

In Louisiana, Sundrop Fuels has selected IHI E&C International Corp as their contractor for their $450 million plant outside of Alexandria. The plant, which will use natural gas to produce about 60 million gallons of gasoline each year, will provide the platform to test its gasification technology for woody biomass-based “green gasoline.” Sundrop Fuels has begun preparing their site for the plant, which will occupy about 100 of the 1,213 acres that the company purchased in February. Construction is scheduled to begin late this year, with operations expected to begin at the end of 2015.
