POET to double Shelbyville ethanol production capacity

In Indiana, POET will expand POET Bioprocessing – Shelbyville, doubling the facility’s bioethanol production capacity. The expansion will double POET – Shelbyville’s bioethanol production from 98 million gallons to 193 million gallons. The upgraded facility will also double its dried distillers grains and corn oil output, add 20 new full-time team members, and grow local grain demand for area farmers.
As farmers face low commodity prices, access to stable domestic markets for grain is essential. This expansion will position POET – Shelbyville and area farmers to access new markets and emerging opportunities, including carbon capture, feed products, and growing demand for E15 fuel across the U.S.
