The bioeconomy in the United States is currently valued at $900 billion, $450 billion of which is direct bio-manufacturing. There is a long history of bio-solutions in the U.S. and much of it started right here in the Midwest. A prime example is the Cargill Blair NE site, where an ecosystem between farmer, grain processor, and downstream bio manufacturing partners bring the bioeconomy to life. In this session, we will highlight the importance of renewable agriculture – the history, challenges, and success of a 30-yr old refining campus – and a preview of how the future of bio-manufacturing is different from the past.
