The bill also has the original co-sponsorship of Senators Mike Johanns of Nebraska, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Al Franken of Minnesota, Tom Harkin of Iowa, Tim Johnson of SouthDakota, and Ben Nelson of Nebraska. Tax incentives would then help to build a robust, sustainable renewable industry.
In November, 2008, the company started operating a cellulosic bio-ethanol pilot plant at its research center in Scotland, SouthDakota. As one of the world’s largest producers of corn ethanol, POET has been actively developing cellulosic bio-ethanol for more than a decade.
Over the first year of operations of its pilot-scale cellulosic ethanol plant in SouthDakota ( earlier post ), POET has reduced its per gallon production cost from $4.13 to $2.35, exceeding its expectations. Cost reduction came via reductions in energy usage, enzyme costs, raw material requirements and capital expenses.
The states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North and SouthDakota, Nebraska and Kansas are home to a quarter of the US population and consume 30% of electric power generated in the US. As a consequence, the Midwestern states have some of the highest levels of renewable energy on their grids.
SouthDakota School of Mines (Rapid City, SouthDakota)—The SouthDakota School of Mines will demonstrate the cost-effective production of biocarbon, carbon nanofibers, polylactic acid, and phenol from the waste streams generated from the biochemical platform technology.
The first facility will be co-located with the Red River Energy existing bioethanol plant in Rosholt, SouthDakota, USA, and will have a production capacity of approximately 100,000 tonnes per year. —Berit Hinnemann, Head of Green Fuels Sourcing, A.P. Moller - Maersk.
The Renewable Fuel Standard has been a driver of American energy innovation, but regulatory inaction has stifled the advancement of promising technologies like ethanol derived from corn kernel fiber. This will strengthen the biofuel industry, which continues to provide an essential market for SouthDakota farmers.
SouthDakota State University (SDSU) received $2.3 Under this program, payments are made to eligible producers based on the amount of advanced biofuel produced from renewable biomass, other than corn kernel starch. million through the Sun Grant Program.
The first facility, Net-Zero 1, is expected to be located near Lake Preston, SouthDakota. The Net-Zero 1 plant is expected to produce up to 65 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), diesel, renewable gasoline that, when consumed, is designed to have a lifecycle net-zero greenhouse gas footprint.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that 21 states will receive $100 million in grants through the Biofuel Infrastructure Partnership (BIP) to add infrastructure needed to supply more renewable fuel to drivers in the US. North Dakota. SouthDakota. Since announcing the program in May 2015, the US. North Carolina.
originally announced their intent to jointly study the feasibility of a large-scale renewable pipeline project in February 2008. The proposed common carrier pipeline system would gather ethanol from production facilities in Iowa, SouthDakota, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio to serve terminals in major Northeastern markets.
