Data current as of 31 December 2006.
Key: "na" = data not available; "X" = data included by source; "–" = data not included by source
Notes: 
(1) When sources differed on distillery status, Earth Policy Institute confirmed with industry sources.
(2) Corn consumption figures were calculated with the assumption that a bushel of corn yields 2.6 gallons of ethanol for plants currently producing and 2.8 gallons of ethanol in newer plants currently under construction, per industry statistics. A small share of these distilleries may use feedstock other than corn, including sorghum, wheat starch, and brewery waste.

Licht, World Ethanol & Biofuels Report, various issues (25 October 2005 - 14 December 2006); Renewable Fuels Association, "Ethanol Biorefinery Locations," at www.ethanolrfa.org/industry/locations, updated 29 December 2006, viewed 30 December 2006; BBI, Ethanol Producer Magazine, "Plant List," at www.ethanolproducer.com/plant-list.jsp, updated 28 December 2006; American Coalition for Ethanol, Ethanol.org, "Ethanol Plants," at www.ethanol.org/productionlist.htm, updated 19 December 2006; Archer Daniels Midland distilleries capacity from Center for Agriculture and Rural Development, Iowa State University, "Ethanol Plant Data," at www.card.iastate.edu/research/bio/tools/ethanol.asp, updated 7 December 2006.

Data current as of 31 December 2006.
Key: "na" = data not available; "X" = data included by source; "–" = data not included by source
Notes:
(1) When sources differed on distillery status, Earth Policy Institute confirmed with industry sources.
(2) Corn consumption figures were calculated with the assumption that a bushel of corn yields 2.6 gallons of ethanol for plants currently producing and 2.8 gallons of ethanol in newer plants currently under construction, per industry statistics. A small share of these distilleries may use feedstock other than corn, including sorghum, wheat starch, and brewery waste.
(3) The Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) lists that an Archer Daniels Midland distillery is expanding by 275 million gallons ethanol capacity but does not list its location.  The Earth Policy Institute (EPI) has independently verified the locations of two ADM distillery expansions and has credited the RFA as listing one of them.
