Blue Flint
Biorefining - Continuously Refined
Our Blue Flint plant, located near Underwood, North Dakota, has been in operation since 2007. Blue Flint purchases more than 23 million bushels of corn from North Dakota farmers and uses it to produce over 70 million gallons of clean-burning ethanol, annually, as well as distillers grains for livestock feed, and corn oil for biodiesel production. The Blue Flint plant also provides E85 to retail fuel stations all across the state.
We built the Blue Flint plant next to Rainbow Energy's- Coal Creek Station, North Dakota's largest power plant, for a very good reason: co-location. We use waste steam from Coal Creek Station to provide the energy needed for our ethanol refining process and to dry distillers grains. Our partnership with Rainbow Energy differentiates Blue Flint as one of the most cost-effective, energy efficient and environmentally friendly biorefinieries in the country.
