Under the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA), TRI collects information to track industry progress in reducing waste generation and moving towards safer waste management alternatives. Measures that facilities have taken to prevent pollution and reduce the amount of toxic chemicals entering the environment are shown in the table below. Although factors other than these reported practices contribute to year-to-year changes in releases, results are sorted by largest reduction in order to facilitate identification of pollution prevention successes. View the to learn about this report's features.

Acetaldehyde 325193: Ethyl Alcohol Manufacturing 2018 2,807.00 834.00 -70.29 Source Reduction: Methods for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - Green Plains intends to continue to reduce its greenhouse-gas and other air emissions through adoption of new technologies, improved and more efficient operations for several years. Green plains had always maintained BACT and MACT guidance/ standard mandate for air pollution control. We additionally have spent millions of dollars on environmental upgrades to reduced emissions and improved the environment. These include flue-gas scrubbers that dramatically slash emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter, and flare-gas recovery systems that capture and recycle gases that otherwise would be flared. By maintaining our emphasis on reliability, operational excellence and enhanced incident investigations, we will continue to target best-in-class environmental performance.
Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Enogen corn reduced our alpha requirements. More environmentally responsible because we dont have to ship a separate product or use plastic containers to hold it. Benefits include: Increase in yield, Reduction in energy costs, reducing gas, electricity and water consumption (This is a huge benefit for the environment), Less transportation time, due to the finished product coming from local suppliers. Usually within minutes of the plants. Shorter transportation time of a dry product, should have a reduced risk of spills vs a liquid product needing to be shipped OTR. The facility reevaluated many chemicals used when trying to align with FSMA and moved to GRAS chemicals.
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Improving recycling efforts: Our facility operations mostly generates non-hazardous solid waste consisting of paper, plastics, scrap metals, used oils, food wastes and wooden pallets. All those generated wastes were recycled where such service is available. We promote consistent waste management practices throughout our company. These efforts aid in reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. Our goal is to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfills and increase the amount of materials recycled every year.

The facility reevaluated many chemicals used when trying to align with FSMA and moved to GRAS chemicals. Aqueous Ammonia: Discontinued use due to stability of alpha enzyme activity in cook. New CO2 Scrubber Chemical: HydriMaize Inhibit used instead of ABS for HAPs & VOC control. Lowers incoming water usage to the scrubber. There was a 24% reduction in water usage to the CO2 Scrubber. Product also helps with reduction in potential sulfates in finished ethanol which also allowed us to reduce Hydrogen Peroxide in recycle water to cook. Fermentation Efficiency Project: Project consisted of reducing the fermenter cooler heat exchanger plates by 65%. Reduced fermenter pump motor from 350 hp to 150 hp motor. Completed on 7 fermenters. Replaced old lighting with new LED lighting in boiler house, process building and in the process of changing out lights in both DDEs. Using new strains of yeast in fermentation that are gluco amylase producing. Reduces liquid gluco amylase by 40%.

Green plains Shenandoah utilizes city grey waterrecycling system for process cooling that help facility from using around 76 million gallons of water in 2018 that otherwise wouldbe pumped from the well. Algae Project- As part of a two prong approach, part waste product valorization and part energyefficiency, Green Plains is developing a process that allows redirection of the corn syrup ( a dense, glycerol containing productthat is currently dried onto DDGS) to a bolt-on algae production facility. The syrup will form the base growth media in which theproprietary algae strains will be cultivated for later use in animal feed (sugar to protein). By redirecting the syrup and not havingto use conventional drying technology, Green Plains is reducing its CO2 emissions related to lower natural gas usage at itsplants.

We additionally have spent millions of dollars on environmental upgrades to reduced emissions and improved the environment. These include flue-gas scrubbers that dramatically slash emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter, and flare-gas recovery systems that capture and recycle gases that otherwise would be flared. By maintaining our emphasis on reliability, operational excellence and enhanced incident investigations, we will continue to target best-in-class environmental performance.
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Improving recycling efforts: Our facility operations mostly generates non-hazardous solid waste consisting of paper, plastics, scrap metals, used oils, food wastes and wooden pallets. All those generated wastes were recycled where such service is available. We promote consistent waste management practices throughout our company. These efforts aid in reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. Our goal is to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfills and increase the amount of materials recycled every year.

Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Enogen corn reduced our alpha requirements. More environmentally responsible because we dont have to ship a separateproduct or use plastic containers to hold it. Benefits include: Increase in yield, Reduction in energy costs, reducing gas, electricityand water consumption (This is a huge benefit for the environment), Less transportation time, due to the finished productcoming from local suppliers. Usually within minutes of the plants. Shorter transportation time of a dry product, should have areduced risk of spills vs a liquid product needing to be shipped OTR. The facility reevaluated many chemicals used when tryingto align with FSMA and moved to GRAS chemicals. MOC_2018_06_19: Made the heat exchanges more efficient for corn oilextraction. This reduced steam required for this process, saving natural gas, possibly.

Acetaldehyde 325193: Ethyl Alcohol Manufacturing 2019 13,008.00 13,007.00 -.01 Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Improving recycling efforts: Our facility operations mostly generates non-hazardous solid waste consisting of paper, plastics,scrap metals, used oils, food wastes and wooden pallets. All those generated wastes were recycled where such service isavailable. We promote consistent waste management practices throughout our company. These efforts aid in reducing theamount of waste sent to landfills. Our goal is to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfills and increase the amount ofmaterials recycled every year.
Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - The facility reevaluated many chemicals used when trying to align with FSMA and moved to GRAS chemicals. Wetland mitigationprojects. Obion ethanol facility maintain healthy and active wetlands to support wildlife conservation.
Source Reduction: Methods for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - Green Plains intends to continue to reduce its greenhouse-gas and other air emissions through adoption of new technologies,improved and more efficient operations for several years. Green plains had always maintained BACT and MACT guidance/standard mandate for air pollution control. We additionally have spent millions of dollars on environmental upgrades to reducedemissions and improved the environment. These include flue-gas scrubbers that dramatically slash emissions of sulfur dioxide,nitrogen oxide and particulate matter, and flare-gas recovery systems that capture and recycle gases that otherwise would beflared. By maintaining our emphasis on reliability, operational excellence and enhanced incident investigations, we will continueto target best-in-class environmental performance.

More environmentally responsible because we dont have to ship a separate product or use plastic containers to hold it. Benefits include: Increase in yield, Reduction in energy costs, reducing gas, electricity and water consumption (This is a huge benefit for the environment), Less transportation time, due to the finished product coming from local suppliers. Usually within minutes of the plants. Shorter transportation time of a dry product, should have a reduced risk of spills vs a liquid product needing to be shipped OTR. The facility reevaluated many chemicals used when trying to align with FSMA and moved to GRAS chemicals. MOC-ORD-2017-01-30: Added hard piping to connect rail and truck offload. Eliminated the use of a hose, significant reduction to risk of spills/releases. MOC-ORD-2017-05-08: Extended a discharge pipe from evap level indicators to distillation sump. Prevents and contains release of process materials. MOC-ORD-2018-04-13: Retrofit drain hub on molecular sieves and replaced sieve beads. Helped upgrade plants original sieves, intended to improve plant production - makes plant more efficient. MOC-ORD-2018-10-14: Added a flow meter on to seal water line to help identify leaks potentially lowers water consumption.

All those generated wastes were recycled where such service is available. We promote consistent waste management practices throughout our company. These efforts aid in reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. Our goal is to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfills and increase the amount of materials recycled every year. COD recycling program in lab show reduction of hazardous waste
Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - The facility reevaluated many chemicals used when trying to align with FSMA and moved to GRAS chemicals. Mount Vernon ethanol facility maintain healthy and active wetlands to support wildlife conservation. They have planted over 500 additional trees in 2018. Light Bulb conversion to LED to lower cost, efficient, Safer. Waste Heat Recovery, Dryer 1 process stream recovery savings on gas consumption. Reuse of waste water aerobics system in place of discharging process water.
Source Reduction: Methods for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - Green Plains intends to continue to reduce its greenhouse-gas and other air emissions through adoption of new technologies, improved and more efficient operations for several years. Green plains had always maintained BACT and MACT guidance/ standard mandate for air pollution control. We additionally have spent millions of dollars on environmental upgrades to reduced emissions and improved the environment. These include flue-gas scrubbers that dramatically slash emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter, and flare-gas recovery systems that capture and recycle gases that otherwise would be flared. By maintaining our emphasis on reliability, operational excellence and enhanced incident investigations, we will continue to target best-in-class environmental performance.

More environmentally responsible because we dont have to ship a separateproduct or use plastic containers to hold it. Benefits include: Increase in yield, Reduction in energy costs, reducing gas, electricityand water consumption (This is a huge benefit for the environment), Less transportation time, due to the finished productcoming from local suppliers. Usually within minutes of the plants. Shorter transportation time of a dry product, should have areduced risk of spills vs a liquid product needing to be shipped OTR. The facility reevaluated many chemicals used when tryingto align with FSMA and moved to GRAS chemicals. 2018-02-23: Combining the 5 outfall flow meter into one meter for betteraccuracy in water usage and monitoring.MOC-CC-2017-04-13: Install bearing temp sensors on the hammermills to be displayed onthe DCS to help to prevent fires during bearing failures.MOC-CC-2018-05-17: Replace the floor in 190 proof storage tank, TF-8351from carbon steel to SS per an internal API inspection.
