“When you invest hundreds of millions of dollars into building a stateof-the-art, cellulosic ethanol plant, it’s vitally important to know where you’re going to secure the feedstocks needed to keep it running,” NextStep Biofuels Chief Operating Officer Russ Zeeck said. “NextStep’s partnership with Energy Grains Biomass gives us great comfort that our feedstock needs will be met for years to come.”
“Our mission is to supply the emerging cellulosic ethanol industry with reliable, price-stable access to cellulosic feedstocks,” Energy Grains Biomass President Paul Kenney said. “A sophisticated cellulosic supply chain, fully supported by the American farmer, is essential for cellulosic ethanol to realize its vast potential.”
“We’re thrilled to be working with the biofuels veterans at NextStep Biofuels,” said Kenney. “We look forward to handling their feedstock needs so they can concentrate on the important business of building and operating profitable, next-generation bio-refineries.”
