Ethanol company Ethanex to file for bankruptcy, 25 March 2008, by Columbus Telegram: Kansas-based Ethanex Energy Inc., "a 2-year-old ethanol company, said it is planning to file for bankruptcy after being unable to gain interim financing."

Bioenergy effort under way, 24 August 2006, Journal-World, Lawrence, Kansas, United States reported on the efforts of an Sunflower Electric Power Corp. electric cooperative in southwest Kansas "to create a first-of-its-kind 'integrated bioenergy center'" combining a "meat-processing operation, dairy, ethanol plant and biodiesel plant" with a coal-fired energy plant, which would together "generate electricity, produce ethanol, feed livestock and otherwise help one another succeed -- through reductions in water use, lessening of emissions and a host of other spin-offs previously unrealized in a single project anywhere."
- "The project would convert manure to methane, which could fuel an ethanol plant. Flue gas from the coal-fired electric plant could feed into an algae reactor, whose water could be drained for boiling in the power plant -- steam drives the turbines that produce electricity -- while the algae could be used to feed dairy cattle or help produce biodiesel fuel."[2]
