Ethanol Plants in Colorado

Ethanol plants can be separated by their "feedstock." This refers to the type of plant material that a given plant uses to produce ethanol. Another distinguishing characteristic of ethanol plants is the amount of ethanol they can produce at maximum capacity, commonly refered to as MGY (millions of gallons per year). There are currently five ethanol plants operating in Colorado.
