On November 6, 2007 Range Fuels held ground-breaking ceremonies for our first commercial cellulosic ethanol plant on the site of our Soperton Plant located in Treutlen County, Georgia, near the town of Soperton. Range Fuels, one of six companies selected by the Department of Energy (DOE) for financial support in building a commercial cellulosic ethanol plant, was the first to break ground. The event featured federal, state, city and county officials, including the U.S. Secretary of Energy, Samuel W. Bodman, and the Governor of Georgia, Sonny Perdue.
