Biomass treatment specialist Inbicon has opened a second-generation ethanol plant in Kalundborg, Denmark, that will provide ethanol to fuel the cars of VIPs who will be attending the Global Climate Summit in Copenhagen on Dec. 7–18.

At full capacity, the facility will produce 1.5 million gal of ethanol a year.
