Additionally, we break bulk and distribute specialty alcohols from both our own production and third parties. Our financial and operating performance is reported in three segments: Pekin production, covering the production and sale of alcohols and essential ingredients from our three Pekin, Illinois facilities; Marketing and distribution, which includes marketing and merchant trading for company-produced alcohols and essential ingredients, and sales of third-party fuel-grade ethanol; and Western production, encompassing the production and sale of renewable fuels and essential ingredients from our Western facilities, including our liquid CO2 plant.
