The Energy Security Act of 1980 provided for financial incentrives to increase production of fuel alcohol to offset imported petroleum. Under the authority of PL 96-294, the Office of Alcohol Fuels, US Department of Energy (DOE), issued a solicitation announcement for loan guarantees to which 57 applicants responded. Eleven applications were awarded conditional commitments following competitive evaluations by DOE. Collectively, the 11 load guarantee projects will be capable of producing 1.4 /times/ 10/sup 6/m/sup 3/ (365 /times/ 10/sup 6/ gal) of fuel ethanol annually and more than tripling the then-current production capacity. Circle Energies Corp. requests a loan guarantee to build a fuel ethanol plant having an annual capacity of 59,000 m/sup 3/ (16 /times/ 10/sup 6/ gal) in Blair, Nebraska. The plant will use dry-milled corn feedstock and conventional production processes. Process steam will be produced by burning coal mined in Colorado. 9 refs., 3 figs., 4 tabs.
