(Emmetsburg)– A South Dakota company says it has made breakthroughs allowing it to use corn stalks, leaves and other plant material to make ethanol.
Broin Companies plans to use the new technology at a plant in Emmetsburg.
The ethanol plant will be expanded to use the entire corn plant instead of just the kernel.
C-E-O Jeff Broin says it will be the first commercial scale production facility in the United States to make ethanol from plant material other than the corn kernel.
