Quick Facts
- Minnesota was the nation's fourth-largest fuel ethanol producer in 2018, accounting for about 8% of U.S. total production. There are more E85 (15% motor gasoline and 85% ethanol) fueling stations in Minnesota than in any other state.
- About 30% of all U.S. crude oil imports flow through Minnesota. Some of the crude oil from Canada and North Dakota is processed at Minnesota's Pine Bend Refinery, the largest crude oil refinery located in a non-oil-producing state.
- About 25% of utility-scale electricity generation in Minnesota came from coal-fired electric power plants in 2020, down from 53% in 2011.
- In 2020, Minnesota's two nuclear power plants, Prairie Island and Monticello, fueled 26% of the state's electricity net generation, supplying the largest share of state generation for the first time. However, renewable energy, in aggregate, fueled even more at 29%.
- In 2020, Minnesota ranked ninth in the nation in total generation from wind energy. The state's wind farms accounted for 22% of the total in-state electricity net generation and 74% of renewable generation.
