Western New York Energy

Western New York Energy, LLC is building the first green field fuel ethanol plant in the Northeast United States. The $90 million project in Shelby NY will produce in excess of 50 million gallons of fuel grade ethanol per year. Ethanol is a clean burning, high octane, and domestically produced fuel that helps reduce America's dependence on foreign oil. Ethanol plant construction is currently underway and the plant is scheduled to begin production in November 2007. The ethanol plant will employ 50 full time employees and process approximately 20 million bushels of corn annually to produce 50 million gallons of ethanol, 160,000 tons of distiller's grain, 1.2 million gallons of corn oil, and over 100,000 tons of raw carbon dioxide gas that will be processed by the EPCO carbon dioxide liquefaction plant.
