Colwich, Kansas based agricultural and renewable energy technology firm,
ICM, has been successful in its bid for Abengoa Bioenergy’s Colwich
ethanol facility.
The facility produces ethanol from corn based feedstocks, but uses
methane from landfill gas to fulfill 50% of its energy requirements.
It processes up to 240,000 tonnes of feedstock annually and produces
around 25 million gallons of bioethanol and 70,000 tonnes of a byproduct
know as DGS which is used in the feed sector.
Following financial problems, late last year Abengoa suspended
production at the plant, which has been mothballed since.
The sale to ICC has been conducted under the provisions of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code.
As a result of the deal ICC will purchase the shuttered Colwich ethanol
facility and property for $3.1 million.
“ICM values this location in Colwich, Kan., and we are evaluating the
best way to exercise that opportunity,” explained Dave VanderGriend,
founder and CEO of ICM, Inc.
“We continue to focus our efforts on developing solutions that deliver
value-added product streams to the renewable energy industry,” concluded
the CEO.
