CLEARFIELD, PA-Gov. Ed Rendell has provided $17.4 million in incentives to Norwell, MA-based BioEnergy International LLC for development of a two-plant ethanol production facility. The total estimated construction cost is $250 million.

Sam McConnell, VP of development and project director for BioEnergy, tells GlobeSt.com, “we’re currently evaluating four sites in Clearfield County,” and says the complex will require approximately 50 acres. It will contain a $180-million facility with capacity for producing 108 million gallons of corn-based ethanol a year. The footprint for that plant, based on a similar one under construction by BioEnergy in Providence, LA, is about 900,000 sf, including space for both production and storage, according to McConnell.
