In Nebraska, KSNB reported that DG Fuels has picked Nebraska for its first Midwest aviation fuel production facility. The report noted that the plant will be located in Phelps County and will produce 193 million gallons of zero or low CO2 lifecycle emissions per year. Production is set to begin in 2030 and the company will use cellulosic biomass in the form of lower value agricultural by-products such as corn stover as its carbon feedstock along with various forms of clean hydrogen feedstock to produce near zero carbon fuel, the report added. “The Nebraska BioEconomy strategic plan focuses on delivering value at every level to Nebraskans, our aquifer and the next seven generations who will call our great State home. This project is expected to deliver nearly $55 billion of economic impact across the State over the next 30 years” Governor Jim Pillen said.
