10/25/2021 LINCOLN, Neb. (DTN) -- Archer Daniels Midland is expected to use more than half of its ethanol-production capacity to produce sustainable aviation fuels as part of an agreement made with Gevo, the companies announced in a news release on Monday.
As part of a memorandum of understanding, the companies expect to produce up to 500 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel at ADM plants. ADM expects to install Gevo technology on dry mill ethanol plants in Columbus, Nebraska; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Decatur, Illinois. The plants have a combined production capacity of about 900 million gallons of ethanol.
ADM operates seven ethanol plants in Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota, with a total production capacity of about 1.6 billion gallons.
Sustainable aviation fuel production is a growing market for corn producers. The companies said they plan to launch commercial production of sustainable aviation fuel in the 2025-2026 timeframe.
In September, USDA joined a government-wide sustainable aviation fuels challenge to meet 100% of U.S. aviation fuel demand by 2050.
The initiative was announced during a White House roundtable with U.S. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack, U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
