ETHANOL
The ethanol industry is a fast-growing, fast-changing
industry. Ethanol has become the major topic of conversation at
meetings and farmer gatherings. Currently it is a focus of legislators
and consumers as they look at alternative fuels and legislation
to help reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
With increased interest in ethanol, production
at ethanol plants is above projected capacities and investments
continue to grow for new facilities. In
Michigan, four ethanol plants are currently operational, two
plants are in the construction stage, and others are in various stages of being discussed. For a map showing the locations of the ethanol plants, click here.
