The facility will have an 85 million gallon traditional corn ethanol plant and an up to 30 million gallon cellulosic ethanol plant, which will use corn stover, wheat straw, milo stubble, switchgrass, and other feedstocks.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) is providing a $76 million grant to help fund the project. Abengoa was one of six companies chosen for the grants to advance the cellulosic ethanol production. (Earlier post.)
