Sandhills Renewable Energy to install Whitefox ICE

In Nebraska, Sandhills Renewable Energy and Whitefox Technologies announced that they have signed a contract for installation of the Whitefox ICE® membrane solution at Sandhills Renewable Energy’s 55-million-gallon-per-year ethanol plant in Atkinson, Nebraska.

The ICE® system at Sandhills Renewable Energy is designed to increase capacity in distillation and dehydration, while reducing natural gas usage, cooling water demand, and the plant’s carbon intensity score to ensure it qualifies for Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production tax credits.

Sandhills Renewable Energy is partly owned by Husker Ag in Plainview, Nebraska, and its majority-owned affiliate Lincolnway Energy in Nevada, Iowa. Husker Ag itself is in the design phase of an ICE® installation and Lincolnway Energy started up its ICE® system in October 2025.
