Green Plains Renewable Energy adds to its share of U.S. ethanol marketing

By Joe Ruff

Omaha-based Green Plains Renewable Energy Inc. has agreed to provide ethanol marketing services to an Iowa plant.

Lincolnway Energy LLC of Nevada, Iowa, becomes the fourth ethanol producer to use Green Plains’ marketing services, officials said Thursday. Green Plains also runs six ethanol plants of its own.

“The addition of Lincolnway Energy as a customer adds scale, volume and critical mass to our third-party marketing and distribution platform,” said Todd Becker, president and CEO of Green Plains. “Combined with our own production, we now market 840 million gallons annually, or approximately 8 percent of the U.S. supply of ethanol.”
