We produce and market a diversified product portfolio that includes ethanol, higher protein/low fat distiller’s grains, beverage-grade CO2 and dry ice. In addition, throughout its history POET has been at the forefront of innovation in the biofuels industry, and has developed many unique products including JIVE, an asphalt rejuvenator made from corn oil; Ripple, an industrial defoaming agent; Dakota ProPellets and cubes for cattle feed, as well as many other exciting products in development.

We are proud to positively impact the economies of our local communities through improved corn basis, increased local tax revenues, and support for hundreds of direct and indirect jobs.
