Chancellor, SD

POET Bioprocessing - Chancellor, SD, is located 5 miles west of Lennox, SD and approximately 20 miles southwest of Sioux Falls, SD in the heart of prime South Dakota corn growing country. The facility utilizes over 35 million bushels of locally grown corn and processes it into 125 million gallons of bioethanol on an annual basis.

Originally built in 2003 with a 45 million gallon capacity, the Chancellor facility was expanded in March of 2008 to an annual production level of 125 million gallons of bioethanol and 56,000 tons of POET's dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS).

Chancellor is unique because it can produce energy used at the plant through a solid waste fuel boiler. The fuel boiler utilizes several hundred tons of woodwaste chips each day and captures and utilizes methane gas, a natural byproduct from the Sioux Falls Regional Sanitary Landfill. These efforts represent an opportunity to produce renewable energy from recycled fuel sources, creating a win-win for the city of Sioux Falls and the Chancellor facility.

We at the Chancellor facility take pride in our efforts to focus on helping our producer customers from the surrounding eight counties. Our facility has fast and efficient unload speeds, competitive bids for corn crops and a professional and knowledgeable staff here to assist with all of your corn marketing needs.

POET Bioprocessing - Chancellor is pleased to be a part of this community, employing approximately 60 people. We are proud to enhance the local economy with improved corn prices, value-added markets for farmers, good-paying jobs and increased local tax revenue.

We are also proud to be a part of Growth Energy which encourages a positive perception of our plant and industry. Growth Energy promotes the expansion of the use of ethanol in gasoline and the importance of decreasing our dependence on foreign oil through smart policy reform and a proactive grassroots campaign.
