ABOUT US
Adkins Energy is a dry mill corn-to-ethanol and biodiesel production facility located in northwest Illinois. The concept for our business originated in the mid 1990s as a way to add value to corn for local producers. Development efforts by Pearl City Elevator, a local agricultural cooperative, and the Adkins Energy Cooperative eventually led to the formation of Adkins Energy LLC. We remain one of the few cooperatively owned ethanol plants in the country.
Our strength and focus is on operational consistency, resulting from developing individual employee skills and emphasizing a safe and healthy work environment. Since starting our plant in 2002, we have achieved and often exceeded many operational milestones:
- Increasing yield, output, and efficiencies
- Diversifying product offerings
- Researching next-generation technologies
- Growing shareholder value
