A 2025 explosion at a Nebraska biofuel plant, caused by combustible dust, killed three people and led to a lawsuit over safety failures.
A fatal explosion at Horizon Biofuels in Fremont, Nebraska, on July 29, 2025, killed two girls and a man, prompting a lawsuit by the mother of one victim.
The lawsuit alleges the company failed to prevent combustible wood dust buildup and maintain safety systems despite prior warnings.
Federal and state agencies found multiple safety violations, including dust accumulation and inadequate training, with the U.S. Chemical Safety Board concluding the blast resulted from a combustible dust explosion.
The facility had previously faced scrutiny over dust emissions.
A $147,000 fine was issued, and Horizon is contesting the findings.
The company has not commented.
