Groundbreaking ceremony held at dairy-based ethanol plant in Minnesota

August 20, 2024 |

In Michigan, the Michigan Milk Producers Association (MMPA) and Canadian Dairy Distillery recently celebrated the groundbreaking of their innovative $41 million ethanol plant in Constantine, Michigan.

As a result of their partnership, the new facility will transform 14,000 tons of milk permeate, a dairy byproduct, into 2.2 million gallons of ethanol annually. When blended with transportation fuel, the permeate ethanol will offset 14,500 tons of carbon a year, equivalent to 5% of carbon footprint of the milk processed at Constantine.
