Texas getting another ethanol plant

DALLAS, Aug 29, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Panda Ethanol Inc. will build a 100-million-gallon-per-year ethanol plant in Sherman County, Texas.

The facility will annually refine about 40 million bushels of corn and milo and generate the steam used in the process by gasifying more than 1 billion pounds of cattle manure a year, PEI said Tuesday.

The Sherman facility is the fourth 100-million-gallon ethanol project announced by Panda, and the third to be powered by cattle manure.

Panda's Sherman refinery will be located on a 1,200-acre site 3 miles northwest of Stratford, Texas. Construction will take about 18 months.
