Green Plains Inc. operates as a diversified biorefining company that produces low-carbon fuels and renewable energy ingredients. Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, the company manufactures ethanol, renewable corn oil, ultra-high protein animal feed, and corn starch through its network of biorefineries across the Midwest. Green Plains operates 11 production facilities with a combined annual capacity of approximately 1 billion gallons of ethanol, making it one of the largest ethanol producers in North America. The company's business model encompasses three primary segments: ethanol production, agribusiness and energy services, and partnership interests. Its Green Plains Partners LP subsidiary provides fuel storage and transportation services through a system of storage tanks and terminals. In recent years, Green Plains has undertaken a strategic transformation to become a platform for next-generation biofuels, focusing on higher-margin specialty ingredients and proteins while optimizing its production footprint. The company supplies ethanol to fuel blenders and refiners across the United States and exports internationally. Green Plains emphasizes operational efficiency and sustainability, investing in technologies to reduce its carbon intensity and expand into high-value protein ingredients for aquaculture and pet food markets. The company employs approximately 1,000 people and continues to evolve its business model beyond commodity ethanol toward specialized biorefining products that capture premium pricing in growing markets.
