Grant for prod of ADV biofuel

The Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services awarded $332,770.19 to Seaboard Energy Kansas, LLC on January 22, 2026, under the Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels (CFDA 10.867), a Project Grant supporting production of advanced biofuels derived from renewable biomass other than corn kernel starch.

Seaboard Energy Kansas, a for-profit limited liability company based in Hugoton, Kansas, receives annual production support payments calculated on documented quarterly production volumes converted to British Thermal Unit values. The recipient qualifies as an eligible advanced biofuel producer under the program and produces solid, liquid, or gaseous advanced biofuels for use as transportation fuel alternatives.

The award period runs from January 22, 2026, through January 23, 2026, with place of performance in Kansas. The program's application window opens October 1 through October 31 each fiscal year. Eligible advanced biofuel producers submit quarterly requests for payment accompanied by production documentation; the Agency converts production to BTU values and awards funding based on documented production volumes. No records submittal is required after payment is made.

This is Seaboard Energy Kansas's most recent award in a cohort of three project grants received between July 2023 and January 2026, totaling approximately $676,000 obligated across all three awards.
