Green Plains Inc. announced a turnkey solution for the installation of Fluid Quip Technologies’ MSC™ system to exclusive partners. Green Plains will provide its turnkey partners up to 50% of capital, as well as marketing and product development of the Ultra-High Protein and post-MSC™ distillers grains products, and utilization of Green Plains’ exclusive partnerships and internal expertise to help maximize product value. These turnkey solutions will also include quality assurance and control (QA/QC), engineering, project management and construction services, and collaboration on any non-recourse project financing. Tharaldson Ethanol in Casselton, North Dakota, is the first turnkey partner, with permitting already underway and construction scheduled to begin this year. Green Plains and Tharaldson have formed a 50/50 joint venture to own and operate the MSC™ protein technology at the 175 million-gallon facility. Annual Ultra-High Protein production is expected to be 105,000 tons at capacity. Green Plains is in discussions with multiple parties and has the capacity to scale to other select partners. Fagen Inc. is expected to serve as the exclusive general contractor for this joint venture and all future turnkey projects. The buildout of MSC™ technology at Tharaldson, expected to be completed in 2022, will be in conjunction with the ongoing MSCTM installations at Green Plains’ locations, which are expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
