Homeland Energy Solutions filed an 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20 announcing plans to begin construction on a new USP grade industrial ethanol plant later this month, reports Ethanol Producer Magazine.
The company said a construction contract was signed with Nelson Baker Biotech last month. The new system is scheduled to begin production in December.
“We are targeting to utilize up to 50% of our nameplate fuel ethanol production capacity for feedstock to the new USP plant,” said James Broghammer, president and CEO of Homeland Energy solutions, in a statement.
Homeland Energy Solutions operates a 200 MMgy corn ethanol plant located in Lawler, IA.
