Capacity by State and Plant

As of September 2011, the United States had the nameplate capacity to produce 14,744.9 million (14.7 billion) gallons of ethanol, operating refineries producing 14,217.4 million (14.2 billion) gallons of ethanol per year, and had construction or expansion plans for an additional 271 million (0.3 billion) gallons.  There were 209 refineries.  If no operating production is listed in the table below, the plant has been idled.  Nebraska's nameplate capacity was 1,989 million gallons, or 13 percent, of the nation's nameplate capacity.  Nebraska's operating production was 1,964 million gallons, or 14 percent, of the nation's operating production.  Nebraska had no construction or expansion plans.

The ethanol section of the state energy office's energy statistics has more information.
