POET-DSM’s Project Liberty cellulosic ethanol plant, in pictures

In Iowa, POET-DSM reports that Project Liberty, the cellulosic bioethanol plant currently under construction in Emmetsburg, is on schedule and they look forward to start-up and commercial production of cellulosic ethanol from corn crop residue “in early 2014”.

As POET-DSM’s folk advise: “The communication to the local, regional and national community is critical as we face challenges to the RFS with grain ethanol.  Our educational efforts, updated construction photos and participation in local and national events continue to highlight we are moving full steam ahead with this project and others.
