VeraSun Energy (VSE) Announces Startup Of Biorefinery
VeraSun Energy Corp. one of the nation’s largest ethanol producers, today announced the startup of its 110 million gallon per year ethanol biorefinery.
“We are pleased to bring our Hartley ethanol biorefinery into production,” VeraSun CEO Don Endres said. “It is one of the largest and most efficient facilities in the nation and further expands VeraSun’s production platform to provide additional scale to our business. We appreciate the support of our team, business partners, and the community of Hartley to help make this day a reality.”
“At 2.5 billion gallons, Iowa is producing more ethanol than what that state consumes in gasoline annually, thus becoming a net exporter of transportation fuel,” Endres said. “While the national debate continues on how to solve our energy crisis, Iowa is showing the nation how we can become less reliant on foreign oil today.”
