Florida will soon be welcoming a biofuel production plant where there was once a citrus processing plant. The plant will be one of the first commercial-scale biofuel plants in the United States. At peak operation, the plant is predicted to produce 8 million gallons of bio-ethanol annually.
The plant will create biofuel from bacteria that produces such from cellulosic crops, feedstock, forestry waste, agricultural waste, household yard and vegetable waste, and certain municipal wastes. In addition, the plant will feed 2 megawatts into the Florida electric grid.
