Marquis Energy strives to challenge conventional practices that promote the dependence on foreign fuels as America's energy source. We are dedicated to producing a renewable, clean-burning fuel that will not only abate dependency on foreign oil, but also benefit our local and national economy. By producing ethanol and its co-products from renewable feedstocks, Marquis Energy continually fosters new innovation for energy sustainability.

Located in Hennepin, IL, 45 miles north of Peoria on the Illinois River, this facility is currently producing 110 million gallons of ethanol per year. Marquis Energy also produces 330,000 tons of hi-protein bio-energy feed (DDG or Dried Distiller's Grain) and 1.7 million gallons of corn oil. Marquis Energy does all this by purchasing 40 million bushels of corn per year from Illinois producers.

Ethanol is a renewable fuel that provides a cleaner-burning alternative to gasoline. DDG is used primarily as livestock feed, and corn oil is used in the production of bio-diesel.

By purchasing grain locally and employing area residents, Marquis Energy stimulates the economy in the community.
