IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) _ Iogen Corporation has decided not to
build a cellulosic ethanol plant in southeast Idaho.

The Canadian biotechnology company yesterday said it instead
will likely build in Saskatchewan.

For the last two years, Iogen had leaned toward building a
cellulosic ethanol facility near Shelley.

The location would put the plant close to farmers already under
contract to provide the wheat and barley straw, corn stover and
switch grass used to produce ethanol.

But in March, the Canadian government announced it had allocated
$500 million in government funding for projects to build
next-generation biofuels plants in Canada.
