Cheese whey, barley, potato waste, beverage waste, and brewery and beer waste have been used as feedstocks for ethanol fuel, but at a far smaller scale than corn and sugarcane ethanol, as plants using these feedstocks have the capacity to produce only 3 to 5 million US gallons (11 × 10 ^ 3 to 19 × 10 ^ 3 m 3) per year.
The Voyager Ethanol plant in Emmetsburg, owned by POET, LLC, will be converted from a 50-million-US-gallon-per-year (190 × 10 ^ 3 m 3 /a) conventional corn dry mill facility into a 125-million-US-gallon-per-year (470 × 10 ^ 3 m 3 /a) commercial-scale biorefinery producing ethanol from not only corn but also the stalk, leaves, and cobs of the ...

Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia engaged in a tax competition for the plant. In 2012, Pennsylvania structured a deal requiring Shell to invest at least $1 billion in Pennsylvania and create at least 2,500 construction jobs in exchange for a 25-year tax incentive of $66 million per year and tied to production, reducing Shell's tax by up to 20 per cent.
Overall, 94% of ethanol in the United States is produced from corn. [5] Currently, corn ethanol is mainly used in blends with gasoline to create mixtures such as E10, E15, and E85. Ethanol is mixed into more than 98% of United States gasoline to reduce air pollution. [5] Corn ethanol is used as an oxygenate when mixed with gasoline.
