Serving the motor fuel supply chain … investors to farmers to refiners.

For more than 140 years, Cargill has been adding value to things that grow. Today, we apply that expertise to renewable fuels. We’re committed to helping you grow your biofuels business no matter what part of the industry you play.

Who we serve

Blenders and refiners 

We offer blenders and refiners a reliable source of high-grade ethanol to meet all blending requirements.

• We’re one of the leading producers of ethanol and biodiesel in the United States. We manufacture ethanol at production facilities in the heart of the cornbelt: Eddyville, Iowa; and Blair, Nebraska, Iowa Falls, Iowa and Kansas City, Missouri. And we have additional facilities for both products around the world.
• Beyond our own production, we combine distribution agreements with independent producers and our global reach to help assure you a consistent, reliable product supply. We understand the complexities of this market and use that knowledge to better serve you.

Investors and farmers

For farmers or co-op members seeking destinations for grain, we offer pricing and grain marketing tools to help you minimize risk and maximize return. Those tools range from crop failure protection to contracts that guarantee a floor price but give you an opportunity to benefit from a rising market.

For investors, we are a versatile service provider, with skills and resources to help you run your enterprise. We can help you with:

Grain sourcing

We provide the feedstock to fuel your production. We draw upon our long history of managing commodities to offer you a comprehensive process to assess and manage your specific risks, and we provide tools to help identify low-cost origination opportunities.

Energy risk management

We help protect ethanol producers from unpredictable fluctuations in energy price and supply. Energy markets are among the most volatile of all commodity markets. Cargill is a leading power and gas marketer that has been active in the wholesale energy markets for a quarter-century. We leverage that experience to help you manage your energy costs. Customized risk management tools based on our experience as an end user help you keep your costs in line, and our personalized web-based monitoring system provides financial information for plant managers, supervisors and accountants at the click of a mouse.

Supply chain

 For generations, we’ve been among the most efficient, cost-effective transporters of large volumes from plant to customer anywhere on the globe. Now we provide supply chain consultation to help make your biofuels business more efficient.

Biofuels marketing

We bring producers and their refining and blending customers together to help them market their ethanol and biodiesel.

Co-product marketing

 As a global leader in the producing and marketing of feed ingredients, Cargill offers ethanol producers a conduit for marketing Distiller's Dried Grains (DDGs), and biodiesel producers an avenue for marketing glycerin. We may be able to maximize the value of your products through unparalleled market access and information, and smooth integration into a comprehensive feed portfolio.
