USA: Rahr Malting Company will team up with local community to build alternative-energy Plant
Rahr Malting Company in Shakopee will team up with the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community to build the $40 million plan, Associated Press announced on March 21.
The construction could begin as early as September on a suburban alternative-energy plant partially funded by an American Indian tribe.
The plant would be built next to Rahr Malting Company in Shakopee, Minn. It would burn agricultural by-products such as grain hulls and dust.
The tribe and the malting company would split construction costs. The plant would produce power for the tribal community and for the malting plant. The plant could start producing energy by December 2007.
