Houston, 12 August (Argus) — Great River Energy broke ground 9 August on a new ethanol plant in Spiritwood, North Dakota.

The facility will use corn as a feedstock. Great River is locating the ethanol facility next to its Spiritwood power station so the plant can run on the stream it produces.

Once built, the Spiritwood ethanol plant will use 23mn bushels of corn to produce 65mn USG/yr (4,240b/d) of biofuels. The plant will also produce 173,000 t/yr of dried distillers grains (DDGs) and 5,400 t/yr of corn oil.

Spiritwood's price tag is $155mm to complete. Full construction is set to start in the next 2-4 months, with hopes of commercial operations starting in early 2015.
