Capacity by State and Plant

As of September 2016, the United States had the nameplate capacity to produce 15,608.0 million (15.6 billion) gallons of ethanol, operating refineries producing 15,187.0 million (15.2 billion) gallons of ethanol per year, and had construction or expansion plans for an additional 162.0 million gallons. There were 214 nameplate refineries. If no operating production is listed in the table below, the plant has been idled. If dates are known, they are noted in the idled columns. Nebraska's nameplate capacity was 2,119 million gallons, or 14 percent, of the nation's nameplate capacity. Nebraska's operating production was 2,066 million gallons, or 14 percent, of the nation's operating production. Nebraska had no construction or expansion plans.

The ethanol section of the state energy office's energy statistics has more information.

Notes:
NA = Not Applicable.
PC = Permanently Closed.
(*) = An asterisk (*) indicates the company's total capacity is divided among its plants.
(**) = Two asterisks (**) indicates the United States' column totals are the Renewable Fuels Association's totals for the United States. Adding state subtotals produces a total that may not equal the Renewable Fuels Association's total for the United States. This is due to the following process: When companies only report their totals, individual plant capacity, production, and construction are researched and estimated.
