Natural Fermentation
Instead of aggressive chemical processes, natural fermentation is more environmentally sustainable and uses fewer resources.

Hydropower
Our clean production processes make use of hydropower from Niagara Falls, a renewable source of energy that relies on natural water flow to generate electricity.

Local New York agriculture
We source our corn locally and produce products for sale into our own backyard, meaning there’s less shipping and transportation waste.

How OurProcess Works
zero-waste process.
Our technique to create high-purity alcohol products is a zero-waste process. We convert our renewable feedstock, corn, into sugars. After breaking down the corn starch into sugars, we ferment those sugars into alcohol using highly efficient yeast. Our world-class, high-purity distillation system then removes impurities to allow us to produce to industry-leading standards. Additionally, we separate the corn’s remaining fat, protein, and fiber to sell across the northeast as high-quality feed products. We use every bit of every corn kernel we grind.

We are proud of the way we source our products
Our customers can be proud to turn to us as their source too.
You can’t separate our business from the agricultural community we partner within New York State. We work with over 300 New York State corn growers and process over 20 million bushels of corn annually. We are committed to supporting our community and are proud to purchase the majority of our corn from New York State farmers.

Higher Grade
Higher grade alcohol. Lower carbon footprint.
You can count on it.
We can produce industry-leading products at a highly efficient rate while maintaining a low carbon footprint. Our process of converting raw materials into ethanol involves advanced technologies, including fermentation and distillation, which significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional fuel refining.
We are working closely with our corn-growing partners to reduce greenhouse gas emissions further through sustainable farming practices and improved energy management.
