WQOW Channel 18 in Eau Claire did a great piece on how ethanol – and its co-products – are made, using footage from the Ace Ethanol plant in Stanley. Check it out: http://tini.us/517

The Wisconisn Office of Energy Idependence (OEI) is offering up to $5,000 dollars to gas stations who are willing to install pumps for E85. E85 is a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, which burns cleaner and more cheaply than petroleum-based gasoline.
At a time when gas prices are through the roof, hitting $4 a gallon for regular today at one Menominee Falls station, E85 retails for just $2.90 a gallon. It’s good to see that as ethanol-bashing continues in Washington, our local leaders are willing to defend this home-grown fuel.
Vendors who wish to apply for the grant should contact Maria Redmond of the OEI at maria.redmont@wisconsin.gov. Consumers who wish to take advantage of ethanol’s benefits on their enviornment on their pocketbooks should consider driving E85 flex-fuel vehicles which are equiped with the technology to burn either regular gasoline or E85. A list of flex-fuel vehicles is available at wisconsinethanol.com

The most recent article of Ethanol Producer magazine (see link) highlighted the fact that in terms of total ethanol capacity, Wisconsin jumped above Kansas. However, both states have approximately the same amount of capacity under construction. Take a look at the story for information on overall production statistics and how we compare nationally. http://www.ethanolproducer.com/article.jsp?article_id=2818
