Sweetwater Energy, Inc. is a renewable biochemical producer based in Rochester, New York, with a facility in Mountain Iron, Minnesota. Founded in 2006, the company specializes in manufacturing cellulosic sugars, clean non-sulphonated lignin fibers, industrial alcohol, and activated carbon from non-food plant materials. Utilizing a patented technology, Sweetwater Energy develops low-cost, concentrated sugars from agricultural biomass, which helps meet the growing demand for bioenergy and biochemicals. The company's products support refineries in the production of biofuels, biochemicals, and bioplastics, providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional sugar sources. Formerly known as SweetWater Ethanol, LLC, the company changed its name in December 2009 to reflect its broader focus on renewable energy solutions.
