Ethanol

ADM delivers clean-burning ethanol to refiners through an expansive network of trucks, railcars, barges and terminals. Our customers – primarily large energy companies – blend these products with unleaded gasoline in various concentrations to increase the fuel’s octane rating and help reduce harmful emissions.

Today, ADM makes ethanol from corn through an efficient process that also produces large amounts of animal feed. In addition, we are working both independently and in partnership with other leading companies and research institutions to develop next-generation biofuels made from cellulosic sources.
