Governor and senator secure funding for ethanol project– Northeast Biofuels to begin construction next month by Andrew Henderson: "BOC Gases and Northeast Biofuels have established a contract for BOC Gases to purchase carbon dioxide that is produced during the production of ethanol. BOC Gases is the world’s largest marketer of industrial gases and the largest marketer of carbon dioxide in the northeast. The company plans to construct a $14 million carbon-dioxide liquefaction plant adjacent to the proposed ethanol plant.

When it reaches full capacity of 100 million gallons of ethanol per year, Northeast Biofuels will produce the largest carbon dioxide stream in the northeast.

BOC Gases Vice President of Product Marketing Stan Borowiee said, 'We are pleased to participate in this project, which is a win-win for the partners and for the residents of New York State. We look forward to being a part of the community.'"
