POET Ethanol Products

What POET Ethanol Products does

POET Ethanol Products (POET, LLC) is a privately-held US bioproducts manufacturer founded in 2000 and headquartered in Wichita, operating in the renewable fuels and agricultural co-products sector. The company's core business is the production of bioethanol, a clean-burning plant-based alternative to fossil fuels, using corn as the primary feedstock. It serves three primary customer segments: agricultural producers supplying grain, the feed and livestock industry purchasing distillers dried grains (DDG), and the fuel/transportation sector purchasing renewable fuel. The company notably holds the first official bioethanol partnership with NASCAR, positioning its high-octane bioethanol as a zero-carbon-intensity fuel.

The company's product portfolio extends beyond bioethanol into a diversified bioproducts suite: purified alcohol, CO2 and dry ice, feed ingredients, an asphalt rejuvenator branded JIVE, denaturant, and natural gas. These co-products are recovered from the bioethanol production process, creating a vertically integrated value chain from a single feedstock stream. Service offerings include design and construction for bioprocessing facilities, transportation logistics, and grain procurement via local corn bids at facility locations. Distribution is entirely domestic through direct B2B accounts, carrier networks, transload services, and local grain procurement operations.

The business model is industrial asset-based and revenue comes from the sale of bioethanol and co-products through direct B2B channels, supplemented by fees for transportation, design-build, and grain procurement services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company maintains industry advocacy partnerships with Growth Energy and USFRA to support regulatory positioning for renewable fuel standards. The entity operates as an independent private LLC with no disclosed parent company, subsidiaries, or investor structure.
