Alabama Renewable Energy Alliance, LLC ( www.areaethanol.com )
Innovative Bio-Technologies, LLC has formed an alliance with Brooks & Gregory Energy, LLC to co-develop an ethanol production/co-generation facility called Alabama Renewable Energy Alliance, LLC (AREA Ethanol). AREA Ethanol was incorporated in January of 2007 with the vision to be the first facility in the State of Alabama to produce fuel grade ethanol effectively and efficiently.
AREA Ethanol will construct and operate an ethanol production facility that utilizes corn as a feedstock and is heated and powered by renewable energy cellulous debris from wood, limb and yard clipping waste. The facility will include an onsite co-generation plant creating steam and electricity through the introduction of a fluidized bed boiler powered by local woody waste utilizing state of the art technology for the production of a clean, environmentally friendly renewable energy resource to be supplied to municipalities and state and local markets throughout the Southeast.
AREA Ethanol anticipates constructing a wood waste collection facility on the co-generation site with the fluidized bed boiler being fed with woody waste from this collection facility, supplemented with contracted wood waste from other sources as well as utilizing syrup from the production of ethanol as an additional fuel source. The power generation is expected to produce 13 megawatts of electricity through an extraction turbine with a side stream of steam to supply the ethanol facility with the heat needed for production. The project will have conventional boilers for start up and backup steam as needed. Electrical production will be sold to the grid to capture the renewable energy credits.
AREA Ethanol will be located in the William T. Thweatt Industrial Park near the City of Dadeville, Alabama. AREA Ethanol proposes to build the 55 million gallon per year ethanol facility to serve the growing ethanol demands of the U.S. with a specific focus on supplying the market needs of Alabama and the Southeast. The facility will be based on proven ethanol production technology. In addition, corn residue in the form of dried distillers grains from the ethanol fermentation process will be sold as livestock feed to support the farm and agriculture economies in the region. With a strong state and local commitment to build this facility as well as the proximity of the proposed site to three of the largest cities in the Southeast, Dadeville, Alabama makes an excellent location for a dry-mill ethanol and co-generation facilities.
