100 Million Gallon Ethanol Plant to be Built Near Hankinson, ND

US BioEnergy intends to build a 100 million gallon per year ethanol plant near Hankinson, ND.  US BioEnergy is partnering with Gold Energy, LLC to build the plant.

North Dakota Governor John Hoeven supports construction of the plant and further said, “We have put good programs in place and worked diligently with the Gold Energy Board and US BioEnergy to develop this plant in North Dakota,” said Hoeven. “It will have a big impact on Hankinson and southeastern part of our state, both in more revenues for our farmers and good jobs in rural North Dakota. This ethanol plant will be the third one under construction, along with a biodiesel plant, and we are working on more.”

Gordon Ommen, CEO of US BioEnergy stated, “A plant like this will bring millions of dollars into this community as well as high paying jobs. That’s what is great about this industry; it’s revitalizing the Midwest by offering opportunities for our young people to stay close to home, it’s bringing money into our small towns and it’s benefiting our farmers by increasing the demand for their corn.”
