Manitoba ethanol industry eyed as growth driver
Premier Doer cited a 10 percent ethanol blend could build a 140 million litre local market and create up to 900 jobs while expanding exports to Canada, the U. S., Europe and Asia. The plan aims to boost livestock feed, reduce fuel imports and greenhouse gas emissions, though trade barriers and a national plan are hurdles.
