About the company
Chippewa Valley Ethanol Company, LLLP is a biofuel producer receiving federal grant funding from the Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services as a prime recipient under the Biofuel Producer Program (CFDA 10.378). The company is a for-profit limited liability partnership based in Benson, Minnesota, operating as a child entity of parent company Chippewa Valley Agrafuels Cooperative, a cooperative structure that serves as the operating arm for ethanol and advanced biofuel manufacturing.
Chippewa Valley Ethanol's federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards from USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services, with no prime contracts, subcontracts, or participation on federal contract vehicles. The company has received five awards over sixteen years of activity spanning 2009 through 2026, with combined obligated dollars of $6.5 million concentrated in COVID-relief and advanced biofuel production support. Recent awards include a $6.063 million Biofuel Producer Program grant awarded May 5, 2022 (completed May 5, 2024) to offset unexpected market losses from the COVID-19 pandemic; a $376,323 grant awarded May 26, 2023 (completed May 26, 2025) under the same program; and a project grant for advanced biofuel production awarded January 22, 2026 (completion date January 23, 2026). All five awards to date funnel through a single customer agency — USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services — representing 100% of the company's federal footprint. Activity is sparse and episodic, with single awards in 2009, 2016, 2022, 2023, and 2026, suggesting grant awards are reactive responses to specific federal biofuel-support initiatives rather than sustained contracting relationships. The company does not compete for contracts or maintain seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles, federal schedules, or blanket purchase agreements.
