A plant to make ethanol from cellulose inched ahead this week with a promise of $4.7 million from the federal government.
Woodland Biofuels of Toronto plans to build the plant in

Sarnia where it has been operating a pilot plant.
Woodland's chief executive officer, Greg Nuttall, said the money will fund the third and final stage of pre-construction engineering.
“Once that stage is done, then we’ll be ready to build an 80-million-litre, 21-million-gallon commercial plant,” said Nuttall.
“The current expectation is that that plant will be located right here in Sarnia and that it will generate approximately 324 full-time equivalent jobs.”
