Work Starts on Hopewell Plant

Through a partnership with KATZEN International, the plant will use technology from one of the leading process design companies in the biofuels industry, incorporating the use of barley.

The plant will produce 65 million gallons per year of ethanol and food and fuel byproducts.

OBE will capture the energy value of barley hulls through conversion to fuel pellets. These pellets represent an attractive high-value renewable biomass that can either be used for process heat in the ethanol process or marketed as a green energy fuel in domestic or export markets.

The plant is expected to be on line in 2010.
