Ethanol

BIOFUEL FOR THE FUTURE

The parts of the corn kernel that aren’t used to make food products are repurposed in our co-located Didion Bioscience facility. This home-grown fuel is a 100% renewable energy source made primarily from Wisconsin corn.

CORN SUPPLY

We buy corn directly from over 500 local corn producers. We can also store 3.5M bushels of corn on location, so we’re producing a steady supply of ethanol year-round.

SUSTAINABILITY

The three co-products of the ethanol process distillers’ grain, a high-protein animal feed, syrup, a supplement in cattle feed, and corn oil, which is used to make bio-diesel.

Our ethanol plant is “zero discharge,” which means that all water used gets recycled into the process and limits overall water usage from the aquifer.

Know the facts

Nearly all gas sold in the U.S. includes 10% ethanol (E10). Ethanol blends like
E15, E30, and E85 provide consumers with even more options at the pump.

FACT #1

Today’s average corn ethanol reduces GHG emissions by 46% compared to gas.

FACT #2

Ethanol is one of the cleanest, most affordable fuel additives on the market.

FACT #3

Production of 15.3 billion gallons of ethanol each year helps reduce the need for foreign oil.
