Santo Domingo.- The government announced today that a ethanol fuel production plant will be installed for an initial cost of 30 million dollars, in the Boca Chica sugar field.
Three international firms will construct the ethanol plant with funds from the Swiss government.
Also informed was the rehabilitation of the Consuelo and Porvenir sugar mills for sugar production and, possibly, natural fuel.
Sugar State Council director Enrique Martinez said that the ethanol plant would begin to produce 300 thousand litters of fuel at the end of 2007.
Yet, until the country prepares for using this type of fuel, production is to be exported to the United States and Europe.
The prospect investors are Ethanol Dominicana, Consorcio Tecno DEAH, Tall Oil and the Swiss government.
