Good Afternoon,
Does anybody know who owns the old aluminum plant on stx (next to hovensa)? I think I remember hearing they were going to start up the power plant there? Any word on that?
Thanks in Adance,
Dutch

From what I heard, it's being renovated to become a new ethanol plant. Perhaps someone else knows more about this than I do?

That's exactly what I was looking for. I knew this highly informed group would have the info.
Thanks,

It looks like that group is developing for an ethanol plant:

From what I understand it is not going to make ethanol, but it is going to supply chemical additives that are used in conjunction with gasoline and gasoline products, that you could call octane boosters. I saw the technical name for the materials awhile ago, but they were much bigger than $1.00 words. If I come across that data again, I will post.
