Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--While Nebraska's agricultural heritage shines through in its industrial project activity as attested by its more than $1 billion worth of soybean-processing plants under construction, the state shows a broad range of activity in other sectors, ranging from data centers to power projects to carbon pipelines. Industrial Info is tracking more than $5.5 billion worth of projects currently under construction in Nebraska.
As mentioned, among the largest projects underway in the state are a couple of projects related to soybean processing. AG Processing Incorporated (Omaha, Nebraska) is establishing a grassroot plant in David City that when completed in mid-2025 will begin ramping up to full processing capacity of 50 million bushels per year. About 70 miles north in Norfolk, N. Bowdish Company LLC (Atlantic, Iowa) is on the downhill slope of construction of a grassroot facility that will be able to crush 38.5 million bushels of soybeans per year, resulting in approximately 847,000 tons per year of soybean meal for livestock feed, 450 million pounds per year of crude soybean oil and 77,000 tons per year of pelleted soybean hulls. Construction kicked off in 2022, and the plant is expected to begin operating in the third quarter of this year. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Food & Beverage Project Database can learn more by viewing the project reports on the David City and Norfolk projects.
Much of that soybean oil could be used as feedstock for the growing renewable diesel sector. Down the road in Hastings, Heartwell Renewables (Hastings) is establishing a grassroot renewable diesel plant that will process vegetable oil and tallow into 80 million gallons of renewable diesel when completed. Construction on the project kicked off in late 2022 and is expected to wrap up toward the end of this year, in time to begin taking oil from the newly completed soybean-crushing facility in Norfolk, if so arranged. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Alternative Fuels Project Database can learn more by viewing the project reports on Phase I and Phase II of construction, both of which are underway.
Moving out of the realm of agriculture, one also finds that some of the biggest names in tech are establishing data centers in the state, including Facebook parent company Meta Platforms Incorporated (NASDAQ:META) (Menlo Park, California) and Google parent Alphabet Incorporated (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (Mountain View, California). Meta is expanding its campus in Papillion, on the southern outskirts of Omaha, by constructing two new buildings totaling 751,000 square feet with supporting equipment that will increase the company's data storage capabilities in the region. The project is expected to be completed toward the end of this year, when the campus will boast nine buildings totaling 4 million square feet.

Power use shows daily peaks and troughs as consumers shift their routines, often resulting in high levels of demand at certain times of the day. In order to cope with these periods of high demand, power providers construct peaking stations that can be rapidly deployed to provide additional power when necessary. Omaha Public Power District (Omaha) is constructing the Turtle Creek peaking station in the Greater Omaha area, not far from Meta's data center complex. The project, which is in the final stages of completion, features two 225-megawatt (MW) natural gas-fired turbines in a simple cycle formation that can also be fired with fuel oil.

With its agricultural roots, several ethanol plants and their relatively high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions dot Nebraska's landscape. Tallgrass Energy Partners (Leawood, Kansas) is getting set to help ethanol producers reduce their emissions with the conversion of a natural gas pipeline into one carrying carbon dioxide. Tallgrass began the conversion of the Nebraska portion of the pipeline late last year, and it will be accompanied by construction of two grassroot laterals in the state. The pipeline is intended to serve as the backbone of a regional carbon capture and storage system and will take CO2 from an Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE:ADM) (Chicago, Illinois) complex in Columbus, Nebraska, among others, and sequester about 10 million tons per year at a permanent storage facility planned for southeastern Wyoming.
