Ethanol to Port

Not on Vermont shores, but will the state feel the impacts of the new ethanol plant planned for the Port of Albany? Regardless of recent criticism of the fuel, ethanol plants continue to pop up. Albany Renewable Energy's plant, to be located along 20 acres of waterfront property in New York, is among one of these pop ups. The $350 million plant plans to create 600,000 tons of cargo and bring 350 barges in and out of the Port of Albany a year. At present, no barges enter this port. The plant is set to be completed by late 2009 early 2010. [Source: American City Business Journals]
