Red River Biorefinery

Red River Biorefinery was a U.S. advanced ethanol production company operating a commercial biorefinery in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The facility used agricultural byproducts such as sugar beet tailings, potato waste, and pasta waste to produce fuel-grade ethanol, USP-grade ethanol for sanitizers and disinfectants, renewable natural gas, and animal feed. The business was positioned as a low-carbon, waste-to-biofuels operation rather than a therapeutics or healthcare company, although it supplied pharmaceutical-grade ethanol as an ingredient for hygiene products during the COVID-19 period. Available third-party sources indicate the company operated privately and was later listed as closed. It does not appear to have a drug development pipeline or clinical programs.
