Michigan's New $41M Facility to Convert Milk Byproduct into Ethanol



Michigan Milk Producers Association (MMPA) and Canadian Dairy Distillery today broke ground on a $41 million ethanol plant in Constantine, Michigan. Key stakeholders, including MMPA leadership and government officials, gathered to celebrate this milestone. The facility will transform a dairy byproduct into a low-carbon ethanol fuel, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and economic growth for the region.


The new facility will convert 14,000 tons of milk permeate, a byproduct of dairy processing, into 2.2 million gallons of ethanol each year. This ethanol, when blended with transportation fuels, is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 14,500 tons annually. This reduction represents 5% of the carbon footprint associated with the milk processed at Constantine, significantly contributing to environmental sustainability and demonstrating the facility's commitment to reducing its carbon impact through innovative waste-to-energy solutions.
