This was added some months ago to attract European users of wood chips, in order to make the Fulton plant more attractive to lenders( increased revenues). It would mean a separate plant to prepare the chips, and I think would also reduce ethanol production at the main ethanol plant.
I really think think this is no longer needed, since financing is already achieved, except for that last piece of the DOE grant, which is being appealed.
My conclusion: There no longer needs to be a wood chip plant, and I expect some announcement on that once all financing is secured.
