Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings, Inc. Company Profile

Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings is a leading US producer and marketer of fuel-grade ethanol, a grain alcohol made from corn and mainly used as a gasoline additive to reduce vehicle carbon emissions by decreasing the use of fossil fuel. It produces ethanol at facilities (with a total capacity of 460 million gallons a year) in Illinois, Indiana, and Nebraska. Ethanol production by-products (including corn feed, brewers yeast, and distillers grain) provide another source of revenues and help offset Aventine's corn costs. Buckeye Energy Services and Marathon Petroleum are among Aventine's largest customers, according to its last public annual filing (for 2011).
