Improving our Environment
ADM is the global leader in BioEnergy, which we define as products made from renewable feedstocks rather than from crude oil.
ADM is a recognized leader in the production of cleaner burning ethanol and biodiesel fuels. Beyond these, we are active in research to develop and commercialize the next generation of biofuels, which will include new feedstocks, new process technologies and new products which offer the potential for even better environmental footprints than today’s biofuels.
We also produce a wide variety of biobased industrial products ranging from Mirel™ bioplastics, with joint venture partner Metabolix, to renewable propylene glycol for antifreeze and plastics applications.
Learn more about the environmental benefits to using ethanol, biodiesel, Mirel bioplastics and renewable propylene glycol.
Meeting Growing Needs
Crops have traditionally been used to meet our needs for food, animal feed and fiber. Now, they are increasingly used to help meet another crucial need – fuel.
ADM sees the needs for food and fuel as interconnected, but some people wonder how crops can be used for both food and fuel. Learn more about how agriculture is meeting both of these vital needs.
