Biorefinery Facility Planned for Oregon

Published 7/27/2003

Treasure Valley Renewable Resources is planning to construct a new biorefinery plant near Ontario, Ore. The $77-million sustainable facility will use corn, wheat, barley, and milo as feed stock to create food-grade fiber, starch, and protein concentrate for human food and aquaculture industries. Carbon dioxide will also be captured for the production of ethanol and commercial sales. Additionally, the wet-spent grain byproduct generated by the facility will be used as livestock feed. Treasure Valley Renewable Resources, currently based in Idaho, will create approximately 60 jobs with the new facility.
