In the US, ethanol producer Big River Resources has agreed to purchase an ethanol plant located in Boyceville, Wisconsin.
The 55 million gallon a year plant is currently owned by Western Wisconsin Energy, which put the plant up for sale in mid-2010.
Under the contract, Big River Resources will continue to employ the existing workers.
Big River Resources' total production capacity will reach 385 million gallons a year of ethanol once the acquisition has been completed.
The company also owns a 105 million gallon a year ethanol plant in West Burlington, Iowa, as well as a 105 million gallon per year facility in Galva. It also jointly owns a plant in Dyersville, which produces 115 million gallons a year of ethanol.
