Chief Ethanol is celebrating 40 years of operation in south-central Nebraska—a milestone made possible by its parent company’s seven-decades-long strategy of enterprise breadth.
The U.S. exported 148.49 million gallons of ethanol and 1.01 million metric tons of distillers grains in September, according to data released by the USDA on Nov. 5. Exports of ethanol were up, while exports of distillers grains were down slightly.
The Andersons Inc. released third quarter financial results on Nov. 5, reporting record third-quarter pretax income for its renewables segment on strong operating performance and improved ethanol margins.
The American Fuel & Petrochemicals Manufacturers on Nov. 1 petitioned the U.S. EPA to waive a portion of the compliance year 2024 Renewable Fuel Standard renewable volume obligation (RVO) for cellulosic biofuel.
EcoEngineers hosted two webinars in October on reducing ethanol plant emissions. Ultimately, getting into the high-value, low-CI ethanol market is now as much about climate-smart farming as energy-efficient production.
