Other Corn Oil Producers

The SkunK was wondering if he could find any corn oil producers that were not already known GreenShift partners or known GreenShift patent infringement litigants.  This is what he found in the SEC filings over the last couple years.  Click on the name and go to the link and you will see what I based it on.

1.  Golden Grain Energy LLC p.17 - We continue to experience reliability issues with the corn oil extraction equipment. See Previous SkunK Blog Here

Lake Area Corn Processors, LLC p. 5  - During our 2009 fiscal year, we commenced operating our corn oil extraction equipment which allows us to separate some of the corn oil contained in our distiller’s grains.

3. Granite Falls Energy, LLC p. 4 - "Over the past 12 months we have installed corn oil extraction equipment at our plant."

4.  Siouxland Ethanol, LLC p.31 - In December 2008, the Company began extracting corn oil using the temporary equipment with installation of the permanent equipment expected in early calendar year 2009.

5.  Little Sioux Corn Processors LLC*33 "Our revenues are derived from the sale and distribution of our ethanol, distillers grains and corn oil throughout the continental United States.".

Many Ethanol Plants no longer have to make public their filings and keep them private with "members only" login protected portions of their web sites - or direct mailing to stakeholders.  So the mining of useful Ethanol Industry information within public records has gotten a bit sparse over the last few years.  I have no doubt that this case helped to motivate some to take their filings off line.

If you know of another plant that could be in the list above drop me a note.
********************
*The SkunK believes that one Little Sioux COES was an early adopter authorized GreenShift model. "Little Sioux Corn Processors, a 50 MMgy plant in Marcus, Iowa, began using GreenShift’s technology in the spring of 2006." The second one, after the plant expanded is not believed by the SkunK to be a Greenshift model, although I could be mistaken.

I found this interesting. ICM is contracted to do a huge upgrade the this plant, but no mention of COES.

What about Adkins Energy in Lena IL. are they doing COE? Also believe from doing research that one of the Anderson Plants in Ohio maybe doing COE?
