(AP) — A Minnesota-based company says it will be building and operating a 1.5 million-gallon ethanol plant in Omaha that will use food waste byproducts. The company is Diversified Ethanol of Burnsville, Minn., a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenbelt Resources Corp., which also is based in Burnsville. Diversified Ethanol says it has gotten an order to build the plant and will own 20% of it. The company says the ethanol will be produced from the waste byproducts of tortillas, bread, and cereal production.
