Kansas Ethanol Production

Twelve Kansas ethanol plants produce nearly half a billion gallons of clean-burning, renewable fuel each year. Current Kansas production creates a market for about 183 million bushels of sorghum and corn. The two grains are interchangeable in the ethanol-making process. One-third of the grain used for ethanol returns to the food stream as wet or dry distillers grains (DDGS), a valued, high-nutrient livestock feed.

Kansas’ ethanol plants bring millions of dollars in revenue and economic development to the state and the rural communities where they operate. Kansas Grain Sorghum believes in ethanol and supports its continued development. Higher-blended fuels expand agricultural demand and improve air quality.
