Growth Energy is proud to welcome Element LLC as its newest member. The addition of the new Colwich, Kansas-based biorefinery marks the 100th plant member for Growth Energy.

The Andersons Inc. have partnered with ICM, a current Growth Energy member, to form Element LLC to build and operate a 70 million gallon per year facility that is expected to be the lowest environmental impact ethanol production facility in the United States. Element expects to commence production in the second quarter of 2019.
