Michigan dairy farmers are slated to start transforming milk into fuel.
The MMPA announced its new partnership with Dairy Distiller, an Ontario, Canada-based company known for their Vodkow line of spirits. Unlike other traditional forms of making Vodka, Dairy Distiller’s distillation process begins with a substance called milk permeate. This byproduct of the ultrafiltration process in dairy production is full of lactose, which is a natural sugar. Add some yeast into the equation to start fermentation, and you’re on your way to ethanol production.
The organization produces some 14,000 tons of milk permeate at its Constantine, MI, facility annually, most of which is currently allocated as feed crop for livestock.at its Constantine facility, with a $2.5 million grant from the Michigan Strategic Fund. The plant will have the ability to produce around 2.2 million gallons of ethanol annually with the aforementioned supply of permeate, which will be blended into transportation fuel supplies.
