Waste-to-Ethanol Plant Planned for Holland

March 21, 2011

Renewable Energy Technologies LLC will retrofit an empty factory in Holland to convert sugar and alcohol-based wastes into fuel-grade ethanol.  The eventual goal is to expand operations to process municipal waste solids from wastewater treatment plants.  Initial plans for feedstock includes apples, cider, alcohol and manure.  The project has a $500,000 USDA grant.  The company hopes to have ten locations within seven years.
