A Canadian company that got its start distilling a milk byproduct into spirits, along with a large cooperative owned by Great Lakes dairy farmers, broke ground on a new Michigan plant that will unite their businesses to make ethanol.
Ontario-based Dairy Distillery and the Michigan Milk Producers Association are building a new facility near Constantine, Michigan, which will repurpose milk permeate, a byproduct of dairy goods production.
The $41 million plant will go online in 2025 and take 14,000 tons of the dairy byproduct, using it to produce 2.2 million gallons of ethanol.
