Green Plains Inc (NASDAQ: GPRE) is an ethanol production company that produces and sells ethanol, distillers grains, and related co-products from corn. Revenue is generated transactionally through the sale of ethanol blended into gasoline supplies (E10, E15, E85) and the sale of animal feed co-products and other processing outputs. The company operates within the U.S. renewable fuels supply chain and is pursuing value-added technologies including Clean Sugar Technology (CST) and alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) pathways, as well as carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiatives tied to carbon intensity reduction programs such as the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard. Green Plains previously operated Green Plains Partners LP as a logistics subsidiary before completing a merger of that partnership into a wholly owned structure.
