BioEnergy International Commences Site Work on 108 Million Gallon Ethanol Project.NORWELL, Mass. -- BioEnergy International, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control ("BioEnergy"), a company developing proprietary technologies to produce ethanol and specialty chemicals A Specialty chemical is a chemical produced for a specialized use. They are produced in lower volume than bulk chemicals, of which petrochemicals, made from oil feedstocks, are the most common. However, both are produced in a chemical plant. from traditional feedstocks as well as lignocellulosics, announced today that it has commenced site work on its first biorefinery, a 108 million gallon per year ethanol plant located on land leased from the Lake Providence Port Commission in East Carroll Parish, Louisiana East Carroll Parish (French: Paroisse de Carroll Est) is a parish located in the U.S. state of Louisiana. The parish seat is Lake Providence and as of 2000, the population is 9,421. East Carroll Parish was the home of former U.S. . The plant will be owned by Bionol, LLC, a subsidiary of BioEnergy, and is expected to commence full-scale construction early in the fourth quarter of 2006. Initially the plant will produce ethanol from corn using conventional technology designed by Delta-T Corporation, a leading, innovative designer of alcohol plants, systems and technology. BioEnergy intends to rapidly introduce its proprietary technology to produce fuels and specialty chemicals using organic wastes such as bagasse bagasse Fibre remaining after the extraction of the sugar-bearing juice from sugarcane. The term was once applied more generally to various waste residues from processing plant materials. , rice hulls Rice hulls (or rice husks) are the hard protecting coverings of grains of rice. In addition to protecting rice during the growing season, rice hulls can be put to use as building material, fertilizer, insulation material, or fuel. and wood in addition to corn. BioEnergy has a pipeline of projects in various stages of development representing over 400 million gallons of annual ethanol production. Separately, BioEnergy has obtained exclusive licenses for novel biocatalysts and has initiated research to support commercial development of specialty chemicals utilizing these biocatalysts for introduction into the Lake Providence facility in the next several years; thus achieving its goal of becoming a world-scale biorefinery. In addition, BioEnergy has secured an exclusive research agreement with the University of Florida University of Florida is the third-largest university in the United States, with 50,912 students (as of Fall 2006) and has the eighth-largest budget (nearly $1.9 billion per year). UF is home to 16 colleges and more than 150 research centers and institutes. and Dr. Lonnie Ingram to develop proprietary technologies to produce biobased specialty chemicals (other than ethanol) from starch starch, white, odorless, tasteless, carbohydrate powder. It plays a vital role in the biochemistry of both plants and animals and has important commercial uses. and cellulose derived sugars. "The commencement of foundation work at Lake Providence is the first of many building blocks toward BioEnergy's quest to become the leading developer of biorefineries producing fuels, chemicals and power all under one roof," said Stephen J. Gatto, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Lake Providence represents a significant shift towards the manufacture of literally hundreds of new biobased products from renewable feedstocks. We are privileged to be working with such an extraordinary partner as the Port of Lake Providence and look forward to making a major economic contribution to the region." BioEnergy International, LLC, headquartered in Norwell, Massachusetts Norwell is a town in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States. As of the 2004 census, the town population was 10,388. History Norwell was first settled in 1634 as a part of the settlement of Satuit (later Scituate), which encompasses present day Scituate and Norwell. , is a privately held, biotechnology company focused on developing biorefineries and proprietary technologies to produce specialty chemicals and renewable fuels Renewable fuels are alternative fuel sources such as ethanol, biodiesel (e.g. soy, vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant greases) or hydrogen, in contrast to non-renewable fuels such as natural gas, LPG (propane). from both traditional feedstocks and cellulose. BioEnergy currently has two 108 million gallon per year ethanol plants under development which, over time, will utilize its proprietary technologies to produce high value specialty chemicals and renewable fuels. Delta-T Corporation, www.deltatcorp.com headquartered in Williamsburg, VA is a privately held, design-build firm that provides alcohol plants, systems, and services to the fuel, beverage, industrial and pharmaceutical markets. |
