Plans to build an ethanol plant
Dexter, Chaves County, NM
A Seattle firm, E85, announced plans to build a 200 million-gallon-per-year facility in rural Chaves County. The plant will hire 45 to 50 people full time when it goes into operation in mid-2008. The plant will be a leading supplier of renewable motor fuels in New Mexico and adjoining states. The plant will use corn fuel stock, with most of the corn coming from the Midwest. |

Biomass Industry Distributed Energy Resources Project
Las Cruces, New Mexico/Texas
The goal of this project is to design, construct, operate, and evaluate a two-phase, biofermentation system to convert carbon in dairy manure to methane, produce electricity for on-site use, interconnect to the local utility, sell excess power to the grid and evaluate the reuse of the
resulting solids as beneficial soil amendment.
