KGPC Bioenergy innovative ethanol project will provide more than 40 direct full-time skilled jobs. Indirect employment is expected to be in the order of 400 to 600 additional jobs. This will launch the development of new and synergistic relationships with local universities, equipment manufacturers and technology providers in building a strong long-term economic model for the province.

An additional product is distillers' dried grains (DDG). The amount of this high-quality animal feed base is calculated at 100,000 tones a year.

The plant will be designed and built by Fagen Inc. [http://www.fageninc.com/eng/index.htm] , who in association with Fagen Engineering LLC,(industry leaders) provides complete design-build service.
