ADM delivers clean-burning ethanol to refiners through an expansive network of trucks, railcars, barges and terminals. Our customers primarily large energy companies blend these products with unleaded gasoline in various concentrations to increase the fuels octane rating and help reduce harmful emissions.
Today, ADM makes ethanol from corn through an efficient process that also produces large amounts of animal feed. In addition, we are working both independently and in partnership with other leading companies and research institutions to develop next-generation biofuels made from cellulosic sources.

The largest producer of ethanol in the U.S. is a company that many of us have probably never heard of. The company is Archer Daniels Midland. ADM is a company that is an agricultural giant in the United States, and has decades of experience. They have a vast network of railcars, trucks, storage facilities, and barges that are capable of delivering high-grade ethanol. They are also working on new ways to produce ethanol that draw on agricultural waste products like cellulose. ADM has made profits of $10.98 billion in 2006, and operates in North America, South America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Pacific Rim.
