Expanding our renewable energy footprint in the US Midwest: Verbio celebrated construction start to convert its ethanol plant in #SouthBend, Indiana, into the second integrated biorefinery plant in the United States. Verbio management and city officials gathered on May 23 to break ground for this exciting next step. 👉 Applying its unique technology concept, Verbio will give the South Bend ethanol plant, one of the oldest ethanol plants in the US, a new life. Once the transformation is completed, the site will be producing bioethanol and renewable natural gas on an industrial scale. 👉 We are targeting a production capacity of at least 85 million gallons of corn ethanol and 2.8 billion cubic feet of #RNG annually. Commercial RNG production is expected to start in 2026. 👉 With this $230 million investment, we will not only help strengthen the regional economy. We will also create a renewable source of #biofuels and #bioenergy to add to South Bend`s #cleanenergy portfolio. We are all in!
