PROFILE |
 |
The scent of ethanol drifts across these High Plains. One of the largest US producers of ethanol, High Plains owns three plants in Kansas, Nebraska, and New Mexico that collectively have the capacity to produce about 68 million gallons annually. The company converts corn and milo into fuel-grade ethanol (blended with gasoline to reduce emissions) and industrial-grade ethanol for use in beverage alcohol, cosmetics, perfume, and vinegar. High Plains also sells its by-products, including carbon dioxide and distiller's grains used as cattle feed. To reduce its dependence on ethanol, the firm has launched a pilot program to produce glycerol for use in the cosmetics, pet food, and pharmaceuticals industries.
