$41M plant breaking ground in Michigan promises to make ethanol out of milk byproduct

By: Lucas Smolcic Larson


A Canadian company that got its start distilling milk byproduct into spirits, like its “Vodkow” vodka, and a large cooperative owned by Great Lakes dairy farmers have broken ground on a new Michigan plant promising to unite their businesses to make ethanol.

The vast majority of U.S. ethanol, blended into most gasoline available at the pump, is fashioned from corn, but Ontario-based Dairy Distillery and the Michigan Milk Producers Association, or MMPA, have a different plan.
