Abengoa Bioenergy shuts down Hugoton ethanol plant
Abengoa Bioenergy has closed the Hugoton ethanol plant in Kansas, marking a turn from grand opening fanfare in 2014 to layoffs and halted production. The facility, financed with DOE support, was hailed by state and federal officials but has not reached expected capacity. Local officials describe the shutdown as unsettling after prior projections of 79 jobs and 25 million gallons of ethanol.
