Products & Processes Ethanol is a high-octane, high-performance, renewable fuel used as an oxygenate in gasoline. Marquis’ ethanol is produced through the age-old process of fermentation, enhanced by cutting-edge enzymatic and technological developments, to efficiently convert the starch in corn to fermentable sugar. The success of our biorefinery is a result of our ability to use every part of a kernel of corn to its maximum benefit. Squeezing every drop of ethanol from that kernel requires chemistry, consistency, and communication. Marquis excels in these areas, and has a track record of industry-leading production capabilities. About Us Hennepin, IL was selected as the ideal site for the initial 100 million gallon per year facility in 2005. The facility's production capacity currently exceeds 365 million gallons per year.
