This was the plant producing wood pellets in Nebraska.

  • Horizon Biofuels, Inc., in Fremont had the capacity to produce 20,000 short tons of pellets. Due to an incident in July 2025, the future of commercial pellets production at this plant is unknown at this time.

Pellet information is being surveyed by the Energy Information Administration. The results are released in the Densified Biomass Fuel Report.
