Northwest
Ethanol
This
farmer led group is one of the original projects that sprouted up from the study
conducted by the Ohio Corn Marketing Program.
·
The
plant will be strategically located in northwest Ohio, providing additional
outlets for grain grown in the local Ohio market.
o
Specific
site to be located near Hicksville, Defiance County.
·
The
grain processing plant will produce ethanol, high protein animal feed and CO2.
There is an active and existing market for all three products in Ohio and
surrounding states.
o
The
NWE Development, LLC plant will convert as much as 20 million bushels of corn
annually into well over 50 million gallons of ethanol.
o
Corn
usage in this facility will expand existing markets for corn in the region.
·
This
size plant will put NWE Development, LLC in the top 15 of the over 70 ethanol
plants in the country, but will be far short of reaching the anticipated ethanol
demand of the north-east.
·
NWE
Development, LLC will essentially be the most eastern ethanol facility making it
ideally situated to serve the significant ethanol demand of Ohio and the
Northeast. This increased market demand is a result of the national movement to
more environmentally sound oxygen and octane additives.
·
Dried
distillers grain is a high quality; high protein feed ingredient that has strong
demand in the dairy and other livestock industries.
NWE
Development, LLC will create 35 to 40 skilled jobs and will add over $85 million
per year direct revenue to the local economy, plus the expected revenue
enhancement as this money generates more trade in the Ohio area.

Mission
Statement: To create an economically sustainable, socially beneficial,
environmentally responsible agricultural development in rural Ohio that uses an
integrated approach to resource management for the economic and social
betterment of Ohio’s farmers, rural communities, and citizens.
•
Will
produce Ethanol from Corn (15 million gallon plants)
•
Utilize
state-of-the-art technology to develop innovative revenue streams, and build for
the long-term versus lowest cost components.
•
Optimize
co-product value:
–
capture,
process and sell all CO2.
–
de-germ
corn prior to fermentation to get corn oil as
a revenue stream.
–
produce
high quality distiller’s grains that have value in multiple animal species as
a high-protein, high-fiber feed ingredient.
Build
completely covered feedlot and dairy facilities to:
–
generate
animal and milk revenue streams.
–
utilize
distiller’s grains to add value to Ohio cattle.
–
protect
and preserve our environment by keeping rain and surface water separate from
animal waste.
–
Complete
management of urine, manure and rain water
•
Use
patented anaerobic digester fermentation technology
–
to
capture animal waste and produce biogas methane
–
liquid
N-P-K fertilizer stream,
–
clean
recyclable water,
–
nearly
pathogen free biomass fiber which resembles peat moss
–
Renewable
methane gas for “green” electrical energy output

Central Ohio
WCO
has been concentrated on the development of a 100 million gallon wet mill
facility. Reports two weeks ago indicated that the Preble, Darke or Mercer
counties were potential locations for this facility. Still very early in the
process for WCO. Indications are that they envision this to be a facility that
is majority owned by farmers.
Nordic
Energy
Announced
a 50 million gallon dry mill ethanol facility in Coshocton. Information has not
been made available other than recent press releases. For more information
