DG Fuels Plans Phelps County, Nebraska, Production Operations

03/03/2025
DG Fuels, a company specializing in renewable hydrogen and biogenic based, synthetic low emissions aviation and diesel fuel, plans to establish operations in Phelps County, Nebraska.

The new sustainable aviation fuel production facility will assist farmers with developing new revenue streams from parts of their crops that would otherwise be considered low-value products.

"Private industry is finally looking at agriculture to reach their sustainability commitments," says Julie Bushell, President of GSD. "For so long we knew that agriculture was the answer to feeding and fueling the world; finally the world is seeing its greatest carbon sink on the planet. Projects like DG Fuels speak to the value agriculture provides to all things. BioEconomy means you are equally invested in building soil health and maintaining water quality as you are adding value to the crop and providing opportunities for the next generation of farmers.”

DG Fuels focuses on the production of synthetic jet fuel then later synthetic diesel fuel. The DG Fuels Program is implemented over 15 years at multiple locations and in multiple phases at each location.

"We understand that a project of this scale brings a lot of questions," noted Ron Tillery, Executive Director of Phelps County Development Corporation (PCDC). "Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to accurate, up-to-date information and that the community feels involved in this transformative journey."
