Northeast Biofuels files for bankruptcy protection

Northest Biofuels is in the Fulton, NY area. They filed for bankruptcy protection today. They are a large plant at about 114mmgy ethanol capacity. They appear to have had trouble coming up to full production. Apparently they know what the problem is and are shutting down to fix it. In the mean time - with no cash flow - they are seeking protection.

The ethanol plant, located at the former Miller Brewery in Volney, opened in August, 2008. The SkunK believes the ethanol plant will house the 11th and 12th COES in the present build out schedule. The 11th and 12th COES have a 30 Sept 2009 planned commissioning date.

The company says none of the 52 workers at the plant will lose their jobs; all of them will help make the necessary improvements.

MacKenzie explained. “Once we complete the necessary plant modifications and commission operation, NEB has the potential to be one of the most profitable ethanol plants in the nation.”
