Green Plains to cut ribbon in Nebraska

Green Plains Renewable Energy will officially open its recently-acquired ethanol plant in Atkinson, Nebraska this August.

Plains commenced operations of the approximately 50 million gallon capacity facility this July after it signed a purchase agreement to acquire the membership interests of Choice Ethanol Holdings.

‘The communities of Atkinson and O'Neill were very helpful in our efforts to restart this plant over the past few weeks,’ says Todd Becker, Green Plains CEO. ‘Our team has made the necessary upgrades and the plant is running at full capacity for producing economical renewable fuel.’

It is believed Nebraska senator Deb Fischer will attend the even as the guest of honour.
