At least three bioethanol projects are in the pipeline to be built in the next 2 years at an estimated cost of $253.3 million, and according to the sources, as many as 16 plant projects are on the table for discussion with the Department of Energy and National Biofuels Board. But all interested parties say that unless there is a clear definition on pricing of the local product, these projects are unlikely to see any progress.
