About E³ BioFuels
History
E3 BioFuels was born from CEO Dennis Langley's lifelong experience in the energy industry and his commitment to always help, not hurt, the environment.
Langley was optimistic about ethanol's potential. But he saw its reliance on increasingly costly natural gas as a major shortcoming, and viewed the waste stream from the region's large feedlots as an opportunity.
E3 BioFuels in October 2005 began construction on its Genesis plant at Mead, Nebraska, using exclusive "closed-loop" technology to which an E3 affiliate co-owns a patent. The patent is licensed to each of E3 BioFuels' projects.
Genesis became operational in April 2007. It's the first-ever commercial plant to make ethanol with virtually no fossil fuels for heat, instead using manure and corn cellulose to make biogas.

Clarifying Some Confusion
E3 BioFuels projects, including the Genesis plant in Mead, Nebraska, are owned exclusively by E3 BioFuels-Mead, LLC.
Statements in the media and on some websites may have created confusion by incorrectly stating or implying that the plant is owned and operated by Prime BioSolutions, whose CEO, David Hallberg, formerly worked for an E3 BioFuels subsidiary. His employment with the subsidiary ended in June 2006.
"David Hallberg no longer speaks for E3 BioFuels or its affiliates," said E3 BioFuels CEO Dennis Langley in a November 2006 statement. "Prime BioSolutions employs no one at the Mead plant and has no ownership interests here.
"We wish David well in his new ventures, while we focus on using our operational expertise in the patented closed-loop technology and proven success in the energy industry to ensure that E3 BioFuels remains a front-runner in the ethanol and agricultural industries."
