Northeast Biofuels Update

As a reminder, NorthEast Biofuels was at one time scheduled to have a jointly owned BioDiesel Plant with GERS on site to process the corn oil from this giant Ethanol Plant converted from an old Miller Brewery. Two COES were still scheduled to be built on site although we have had no specific update on this plant since it was sold to Sunoco, Inc. The plant claimed engineering issues and it could never produce ethanol at a a profitable rate.

The SkunK had given examples of bankrupt, distressed Vera Sun Plants selling for 61 cents for a gallon of production capacity. However this plant was sold for less than 7.5 cents for a gallon of production capacity. Ever try to sell a car that doesn't run? Still, 7.5 cents is quite a deal if they can get 'er running right.

Here is an update from a local paper, apparently the Fulton Mayor got briefed. . .

*************

. . . Sunoco, Inc. is planning to have full ethanol production underway by April 1. . .

Sunoco purchased the bankrupt Northeast Biofuels ethanol plant in the Town of Volney for $8.5 million in a May auction arranged by U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Since the summer of 2006, the former Miller Brewing facility had been undergoing conversion into a 114-million-gallon ethanol-production plant. The lack of production has been attributed to design flaws in the conversion of the former brewery into an ethanol-production plant.
