The Cellulosic Sugar Producers Co-operative (CSPC) has reached more than half the acres it needs to supply a new plant with biomass from wheat and corn stover.

Brian Cofell, general manager of the CSPC says that is a significant landmark for the co-operative which will be owning the plant with Comet Biorefining.

“For us we’re going to consider that a real victory,” he says.

Farmtario Editor John Greig talked to Cofell at the London Farm Show about the products coming out of the plant and the challenges with balancing the amount of biomass coming off the fields and maintaining organic matter.
