Under the leadership of Governor Mitch Daniels and Lt. Governor Becky Skillman, Indiana’s biofuels industry has grown to national prominence in just one year. Indiana has gone from one ethanol plant to 12 new ethanol plants and four new biodiesel plants that will create 620 new jobs for Hoosier workers. In total, these new facilities will put at least $29.5 million into local farmer pockets and invest more than $1.47 billion in capital expenses.
