City Denied Alcohol Bid in Ottawa Fuel Plan
Ottawa officials learn the $106,000 DOE grant for a proposed alcohol fuels plant feasibility study may not be funded as $200 million in last week’s grants exhausts available money. The plan would use waste heat from the power plant to produce alcohol for gasohol, with co generation as a key feature. City leaders vow to pursue future funding and await guidelines for new programs from the Energy Security Act and the Synthetic Fuels Corporation.
