The Renewable Fuels Association says at least 15 ethanol plants, nationwide, have been shut down or idled in recent months. And the executive director of Renewable Fuels Nebraska, Troy Bredenkamp, says he’s hearing more closures are likely.
“I came out of a two-day meeting with other state ethanol executives and it looks like there needs to be another 25 to 35 plants that will be shutting off if things don’t change,” Bredenkamp says.
