Doane's Agricultural Report (August 4, 2006 issue) reported that the "first" commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol plant will be built in Augusta, Georgia (USA) on a former Pfizer pharmaceutical manufacturing complex site. It will produce 50 million gallons per year and will begin production by mid-2007. The plant will be built by New York based Xethanol and will primarily use forestry residues and waste wood prevalent in the region. The technology also promises to make ethanol out of crop residues and other biomass as well.
