Greenyug to Build Ethanol-based Biochemical Plant in Nebraska

The U.S. technology company, Greenyug, is planning to build an industrial scale ethyl acetate manufacturing facility. Its newly formed subsidiary, Prairie Catalytic, will operate the plant.
The chemical plant will be located near Archer Daniels Midland Co.'s (ADM) wet mill corn processing facilities in Columbus, Nebraska. ADM's mill will supply the facility with bioethanol feedstock and other services. Construction of the facility is scheduled in late 2016 and production will start a year later.
Greenyug ethyl acetate is a specialty solvent used in products such as paints, coatings, pharmaceuticals, adhesives, and a variety of consumer goods. Greenyug's ethyl acetate will be the first commercially-available chemical of its kind in industrial quantities to be sourced from renewable feedstock.
