Providing Clean, High-Performance Fuel

Building Markets for Ethanol

Kansas Corn works to build market opportunities for corn in all forms. Ethanol is a top use for Kansas Corn. The state’s 12 ethanol plants produce nearly half a billion gallons of renewable, clean burning ethanol fuel and distillers grains, a high nutrient livestock feed, creating a market for 170 million bushels of corn. Distillers grains are sold wet as WDGS to nearby livestock feeders, or they are dried to make DDGS that can be sold nearby or exported to other states or other countries. Our plants produce a high performance, renewable and environmentally friendly fuel that’s also friendly to your wallet.

Kansas Corn Flex Fuel Grant Program

  • The Kansas Corn Commission (KCC) designed this grant program to incentivize Kansas fuel retailers to add mid and upper level ethanol blends as an option for their customers.
  • This program assists with the additional costs of upgrading to flex fuel dispensers and is designed to accelerate the use and availability of E15, E30, and E85 fuel blends as a clean-burning, renewable alternative to conventional gasoline in Kansas.
  • Grant program requirements and information can be found here.
