POET breaks ground on Shelbyville biorefinery expansion
In Indiana, POET broke ground on its planned expansion of POET Bioprocessing – Shelbyville, doubling the facility’s bioethanol production capacity. The expansion will increase POET Bioprocessing – 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 and add 25 new full-time team members.
As farmers face low commodity prices, access to stable domestic markets for grain is essential. This expansion will create 32 million bushels of new demand for local farmers and improve access to new markets and emerging opportunities such as carbon capture, feed products, and growing demand for E15 fuel across the U.S.
