Vercipia's first commercial facility will be located in Highlands County, Florida. The Highlands Project will be Florida's first commercial scale project to use next-generation cellulosic ethanol technology to convert renewable biomass resources to fuel. The Company has entered into a long-term agreement with Lykes Bros., Inc, a well-known, family-owned Florida agricultural business, to provide the energy grasses for conversion to fuel. The plant is expected to produce up to 36 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol per year and provide the region with approximately 140 jobs once commercial operations begin.
