Fueling Economic Development with the Next Generation of Sustainable Biofuels
The Central Minnesota Ethanol Co-Op (CMEC) in Little Falls is an example of the innovative work being done in rural Minnesota to develop sustainable biofuels. Co-ops and companies like CMEC are making significant contributions to creating more prosperous and sustainable rural economies. As Governor, Margaret Anderson Kelliher will bring new energy to economic development in Minnesota by investing in the next generation of sustainable biofuels.
Through the support of the NextGen Energy grant, CMEC will be on the cutting edge of cellulosic energy development and production. They received the grant to design and construct the first commercial scale cellulosic energy facility in Minnesota. As Governor, Margaret will strengthen rural economies and get people back to work by investing in the future of clean energy creation.
