Largest Corn Waste-To-Ethanol Plant Opens In Iowa. The worldâs largest refinery that turns corn plant waste into ethanol began production Wednesday in Iowa, and many national and international dignitaries in attendance touted the technology as a major step in the shift from the fossil fuel age to a biofuels revolution.
