Fibrominn, located in Benson, Minnesota, is the first power plant under construction in the United States designed to burn poultry litter as its main source of fuel. It will produce a projected 55 megawatts of energy and will burn turkey manure combined with wood chips. Most of the energy will be purchased by Xcel Energy. Construction began in 2005 and is expected to finish in 2007, which would make it the first biomass power plant in the United States.
