Archer-Daniels-Midland – This agribusiness company is in the forefront of biofuels production and development in the U.S. In the wake of new U.S. biofuel regulations, ADM is expanding its capital spending on ethanol and biodiesel. As of 2006, ADM had about a 25% market share in ethanol production. It is spending billions of dollars in order to expand that market dominance by adding about 550 million gallons a year of new ethanol production capacity by 2008. ADM’s biofuel operations are global, the company being the largest biodiesel producer in Germany. The company also is a leader in biofuel research and development, and reportedly is even examining making ethanol from coal.
