We are excited to welcome two new Bio Nebraska members: The Pennycress Company and BD Construction.

The Pennycress Company bioengineers and sells pennycress seeds so farmers and biorefineries can increase profits and ecosystem health. They connect the supply chain from farmers to commodity traders who process the seed to be used in numerous products, from cooking oil to sustainable aviation fuel. While growing on farmers’ fields, pennycress sequesters carbon, increases biodiversity, and protects topsoil.

With more than 40 years of experience, BD Construction has built projects visible in most cities and towns throughout Nebraska and Northern Kansas. BD Construction specializes in large-scale, new construction and renovation projects of every description — from high schools to hospitals to hotels. BD Construction strives to be more than a construction firm; it works to make communities healthier, smarter and more economically vibrant by giving back. Inspired by this core value, BD employees volunteer for many community organizations and projects. When you have a dream, work together with BD Construction to plan and build your next facility.
