Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	BASIS OF PRESENTATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization References to “we,” “our,” “us” or “the partnership” in the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements refer to Green Plains Partners LP and its subsidiaries. Green Plains Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Plains Inc., serves as the general partner of the partnership. References to (i) “the general partner” and “Green Plains Holdings” refer to Green Plains Holdings LLC; (ii) “the parent,” “the sponsor” and “Green Plains” refer to Green Plains Inc.; and (iii) “Green Plains Trade” refers to Green Plains Trade Group LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Plains. On May 3, 2023, the Board of Directors of the general partner received a non-binding, preliminary proposal ("the Proposal") from the parent to acquire all of the outstanding common units representing limited partner interests in the partnership not already owned by the parent and its affiliates pursuant to a stock-for-unit merger that would result in the partnership becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the parent. The conflicts committee of the Board of Directors of the general partner (the "Conflicts Committee") has been delegated the authority to evaluate and negotiate the possible terms of a proposed transaction. Any transaction involving the parent and the partnership is subject to the execution of a mutually satisfactory definitive agreement and approval of such definitive agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder by the boards of directors of the parent and the general partner, the Conflicts Committee, as well as the majority of the partnership's unitholders. There can be no assurance that the parties will reach agreement on the terms of a transaction, that a definitive agreement will be executed or that a transaction will be approved or consummated. Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the partnership and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on a consolidated basis for reporting purposes. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Because they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP, the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the partnership’s 2022 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 10, 2023. The partnership accounts for its interest in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting, with its investment recorded at the acquisition cost plus the partnership’s share of equity in undistributed earnings and reduced by the partnership’s share of equity in undistributed losses and distributions received. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The partnership bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions it believes are proper and reasonable under the circumstances. The partnership regularly evaluates the appropriateness of these estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain accounting policies, including, but not limited to, those related to leases, depreciation of property and equipment, asset retirement obligations, and impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. Description of Business The partnership provides fuel storage and transportation services by owning, operating, developing and acquiring ethanol and fuel storage terminals, transportation assets and other related assets and businesses. The partnership is its parent’s primary downstream logistics provider to support the parent’s approximately 1.0 bgy ethanol marketing and distribution business since the partnership’s assets are the principal method of storing and delivering the ethanol the parent produces. The ethanol produced by the parent is fuel grade, made principally from starch extracted from corn, and is primarily used for blending with gasoline. Ethanol is an economical source of octane and oxygenates for blending into the fuel supply. The partnership does not take ownership of, or receive any payments based on the value of the ethanol or other fuels it handles; as a result, the partnership does not have any direct exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. However, commodity prices can potentially impact the demand for the products that we handle. Revenue Recognition The partnership recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the completion of services or the transfer of control of products to the customer or another specified third party. For contracts with customers in which a take-or-pay commitment exists, any minimum volume deficiency charges are recognized as revenue in the period incurred and are not allowed to be credited towards excess volumes in future periods. The partnership generates a substantial portion of its revenues under fee-based commercial agreements with Green Plains Trade. Operating lease revenue related to minimum volume commitments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Under the terms of the storage and throughput agreement with Green Plains Trade, to the extent shortfalls associated with minimum volume commitments in the previous four quarters continue to exist, volumes in excess of the minimum volume commitment are applied to those shortfalls. Remaining excess volumes generating operating lease revenue are recognized as incurred. Please refer to Note 2 - Revenue to the consolidated financial statements for further details. Operations and Maintenance Expenses The partnership’s operations and maintenance expenses consist primarily of lease expenses related to the transportation assets, labor expenses, outside contractor expenses, insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance expenses, and utility costs. These expenses also include fees for certain management, maintenance and operational services to support the storage and terminal facilities, trucks, and leased railcar fleet allocated by Green Plains under the operational services and secondment agreement. Concentrations of Credit Risk In the normal course of business, the partnership is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility a loss may occur due to failure of another party to perform according to the terms of their contract. The partnership provides fuel storage and transportation services for various parties with a significant portion of its revenues earned from Green Plains Trade. The partnership continually monitors its credit risk exposure and concentrations. Please refer to Note 2 – Revenue and Note 9 – Related Party Transactions to the consolidated financial statements for additional information . Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill The partnership reviews its long-lived assets, currently consisting primarily of property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No triggering events were identified for the periods reported. The partnership’s goodwill currently is comprised of amounts recognized by the partnership's predecessor related to terminal services assets. The partnership reviews goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment at least annually, as of October 1, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Leases The partnership leases certain facilities, parcels of land, and railcars. These leases are accounted for as operating leases, with lease expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The term of the lease may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. For leases with initial terms greater than 12 months, the partnership records operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. The partnership did not incur any material short-term lease expense for either the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or June 30, 2022. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the right to control an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the partnership’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. The partnership utilizes a portfolio approach for lease classification, which allows for an entity to group together leases with similar characteristics, provided that its application does not create a material difference when compared to accounting for the leases at a contract level. For the partnership’s railcar leases, the partnership combines the railcars within each contract rider and accounts for each contract rider as an individual lease. From a lessee perspective, the partnership combines both the lease and non-lease components and accounts for them as one lease. Certain of the partnership’s railcar agreements provide for maintenance costs to be the responsibility of the partnership as incurred or charged by the lessor. This maintenance cost is a non-lease component that the partnership combines with the monthly rental payment and accounts for the total cost as operating lease expense. In addition, the partnership has a land lease that contains a non-lease component for the handling and unloading services the landlord provides. The partnership combines the cost of services with the land lease cost and accounts for the total as operating lease expense. The partnership records operating lease revenue as part of its operating lease agreements for storage and throughput services, rail transportation services, and certain terminal services. In addition, the partnership may sublease certain of its railcars to third parties on a short-term basis. These subleases are classified as operating leases, with the associated sublease revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease lease term. From a lessor perspective, the partnership combines, by class of underlying asset, both the lease and non-lease components and accounts for them as one lease. The storage and throughput agreement consists of lease costs paid by Green Plains Trade for the rental of the terminal facilities as well as non-lease costs for the throughput services provided by the partnership. For this agreement, the partnership combines the facility rental revenue and the service revenue and accounts for the total as leasing revenue. The railcar transportation services agreement consists of lease costs paid by Green Plains Trade for the use of the partnership’s railcar assets as well as non-lease costs for logistical operations management and other services. For this agreement, the partnership combines the railcar rental revenue and the service revenue and accounts for the total as leasing revenue. Please refer to Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements for further details on operating lease expense and revenue. Please refer to Note 2 - Revenue to the consolidated financial statements for further details on the operating lease agreements in which the partnership is a lessor. Asset Retirement Obligations The partnership records an ARO for the fair value of the estimated costs to retire a tangible long-lived asset in the period incurred if it can be reasonably estimated, which is subsequently adjusted for accretion expense. Corresponding asset retirement costs are capitalized as a long-lived asset and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s remaining useful life. The expected present value technique used to calculate the fair value of the AROs includes assumptions about costs, settlement dates, interest accretion, and inflation. Changes in assumptions, such as the amount or timing of estimated cash flows, could increase or decrease the AROs. The partnership’s AROs are based on legal obligations to perform remedial activity related to land, machinery and equipment when certain operating leases expire. Segment Reporting The partnership accounts for segment reporting in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting , which establishes standards for entities reporting information about the operating segments and geographic areas in which they operate. Management evaluated how its chief operating decision maker has organized the partnership for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing performance, and concluded it has one reportable segment.

Terminal Services Revenue The partnership provides terminal services and logistics solutions to Green Plains Trade, and other customers, through its fuel terminal facilities under various terminal service agreements, some of which have minimum volume commitments. If Green Plains Trade, or other customers, fail to meet their minimum volume commitments during the applicable term, a deficiency payment equal to the deficient volume multiplied by the applicable fee is charged. Deficiency payments related to the partnership’s terminal services revenue may not be utilized as credits toward future volumes. At terminals where customers have shared use of terminal and tank storage assets, revenue is generated from contracts with customers and accounted for as service revenue. This service revenue is recognized at the point in time when product is withdrawn from tank storage. At terminals where a customer is predominantly provided exclusive use of the terminal or tank storage assets, the partnership is considered a lessor as part of an operating lease agreement. Revenue is recognized over the term of the lease based on the minimum volume commitment or total actual throughput if in excess of the minimum volume commitment. Trucking and Other Revenue The partnership transports ethanol, natural gasoline, other refined fuels and feedstocks by truck from identified receipt points to various delivery points. Trucking revenue is recognized over time based on the percentage of total miles traveled, which is on average less than 100 miles. Railcar Transportation Services Revenue Under the rail transportation services agreement, Green Plains Trade is obligated to use the partnership to transport ethanol and other fuels from receipt points identified by Green Plains Trade to nominated delivery points. Green Plains Trade is required to pay the partnership fees for the minimum railcar volumetric capacity provided, regardless of utilization of that capacity. However, Green Plains Trade is not charged for railcar volumetric capacity that is not available for use due to inspections, upgrades or routine repairs and maintenance. Revenue associated with the rail transportation services fee is considered leasing revenue and is recognized over the term of the lease based on the actual average daily railcar volumetric capacity provided. The partnership may also charge Green Plains Trade a related services fee for logistical operations management of railcar volumetric capacity utilized by Green Plains Trade which is not provided by the partnership. Revenue associated with the related services fee is also considered leasing revenue and recognized over the term of the lease based on the average volumetric capacity for which services are provided. Storage and Throughput Revenue The partnership generates leasing revenue from its storage and throughput agreement with Green Plains Trade based on contractual rates charged for the handling, storage and throughput of ethanol. Under this agreement, Green Plains Trade is required to pay the partnership a fee for a minimum volume commitment regardless of the actual volume delivered. If Green Plains Trade fails to meet its minimum volume commitment during any quarter, the partnership charges Green Plains Trade a deficiency payment equal to the deficient volume multiplied by the applicable fee. The deficiency payment may be applied as a credit toward volumes delivered by Green Plains Trade in excess of the minimum volume commitment during the following four quarters, after which time any unused credits will expire. Revenue is recognized over the term of the lease based on the minimum volume commitment or total actual throughput if in excess of the minimum volume commitment. Payment Terms The partnership has standard payment terms, which vary depending on the nature of the services provided, with the majority of terms falling within 10 to 30 days after transfer of control or completion of services. Contracts generally do not include a significant financing component in instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing. Major Customers Revenue from Green Plains Trade Group was $19.4 million and $39.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $18.7 million and $36.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which exceeds 10% of the partnership’s total revenue. Contract Liabilities The partnership records unearned revenue when consideration is received, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of service and lease agreements. Unearned revenue from service agreements, which represents a contract liability, is recorded for fees that have been charged to the customer prior to the completion of performance obligations, and is generally recognized in the subsequent quarter. The following table reflects the changes in our unearned revenue from service agreements, which is recorded in accrued and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (in thousands): Amount Balance at January 1, 2023 $ 153 Revenue recognized included in beginning balance (153) Net additions 124 Balance at March 31, 2023 124 Revenue recognized included in beginning balance (124) Net additions 234 Balance at June 30, 2023 $ 234 The partnership expects to recognize all of the unearned revenue associated with service agreements from contracts with customers as of June 30, 2023, in the subsequent quarter when the product is withdrawn from tank storage.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Unit-Based Compensation	UNIT-BASED COMPENSATION The LTIP is intended to promote the interests of the partnership, its general partner and affiliates by providing unit-based incentive compensation awards to employees, consultants and directors to encourage superior performance. The LTIP reserves 2,500,000 common limited partner units for issuance in the form of options, restricted units, phantom units, distribution equivalent rights, substitute awards, unit appreciation rights, unit awards, profit interest units or other unit-based awards. The partnership measures unit-based compensation grants at fair value on the grant date and records noncash compensation expense related to the awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of one year. The non-vested unit-based award activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023, is as follows: Non-Vested Units Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Weighted-Average Remaining Vesting Term (in years) Non-vested at December 31, 2022 19,707 $ 12.18 Vested (19,707) 12.18 Non-vested at June 30, 2023 — $ — 0.0 Compensation costs related to the unit-based awards of $60 thousand and $119 thousand were recognized during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Issuance of Additional Securities The partnership agreement authorizes the partnership to issue unlimited additional partnership interests on the terms and conditions determined by the general partner without unitholder approval. Cash Distribution Policy Quarterly distributions are made from available cash within 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter, assuming the partnership has available cash. Available cash generally means all cash and cash equivalents on hand at the end of that quarter less cash reserves established by the general partner, including those for future capital expenditures, future acquisitions and anticipated future debt service requirements, plus all or any portion of the cash on hand resulting from working capital borrowings made subsequent to the end of that quarter. The general partner also holds incentive distribution rights that entitle it to receive increasing percentages, up to 48%, of available cash distributed from operating surplus, as defined in the partnership agreement, in excess of $0.46 per unit per quarter.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Unit	EARNINGS PER UNIT The partnership computes earnings per unit using the two-class method. Earnings per unit applicable to common units is calculated by dividing the respective limited partners’ interest in net income by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of any outstanding dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per limited partner unit was the same as basic earnings per limited partner unit as there were no potentially dilutive common units outstanding as of June 30, 2023. The following tables show the calculation of earnings per limited partner unit – basic and diluted (in thousands, except for per unit data): Three Months Ended Limited Partner Common Units General Partner Total Net income Distributions declared $ 10,586 $ 216 $ 10,802 Earnings less than distributions (1,428) (28) (1,456) Total net income $ 9,158 $ 188 $ 9,346 Weighted-average units outstanding - basic and diluted 23,227 Earnings per limited partner unit - basic and diluted $ 0.39 Six Months Ended Limited Partner Common Units General Partner Total Net income Distributions declared $ 21,163 $ 432 $ 21,595 Earnings less than distributions (2,291) (46) (2,337) Total net income $ 18,872 $ 386 $ 19,258 Weighted-average units outstanding - basic and diluted 23,227 Earnings per limited partner unit - basic and diluted $ 0.81 Three Months Ended Limited Partner Common Units General Partner Total Net income Distributions declared $ 10,453 $ 213 $ 10,666 Earnings less than distributions (144) (3) (147) Total net income $ 10,309 $ 210 $ 10,519 Weighted-average units outstanding - basic and diluted 23,208 Earnings per limited partner unit - basic and diluted $ 0.44 Six Months Ended Limited Partner Common Units General Partner Total Net income Distributions declared $ 20,789 $ 424 $ 21,213 Earnings less than distributions (337) (7) (344) Total net income $ 20,452 $ 417 $ 20,869 Weighted-average units outstanding - basic and diluted 23,208 Earnings per limited partner unit - basic and diluted $ 0.88

In accordance with the amended storage and throughput agreement, Green Plains Trade is obligated to deliver a minimum volume of 217.7 mmg per calendar quarter to the partnership’s storage facilities and pay $0.05312 per gallon on all volume it throughputs associated with the agreement. The remaining lease term for the storage and throughput agreement is 6.0 years with automatic one year renewal periods in which either party has the right to terminate the contract. Due to the unilateral right to termination during the renewal period, the lease contract would no longer contain enforceable rights or obligations. Therefore, the lease term does not include the successive one year renewal periods. Anticipated minimum operating lease revenue under this agreement assuming a consistent rate of $0.05312 per gallon for the remainder of 2023 and in future years, is as follows (in thousands): Year Ending December 31, Amount 2023 $ 23,128 2024 46,257 2025 46,257 2026 46,257 2027 46,257 Thereafter 69,385 Total $ 277,541 In accordance with the amended rail transportation services agreement with Green Plains Trade, Green Plains Trade is required to pay the rail transportation services fee for railcar volumetric capacity provided by the partnership. The remaining lease term for this agreement is 6.0 years, with automatic one year renewal periods in which either party has the right to terminate the contract. Due to the unilateral right to termination during the renewal period, the lease contract would no longer contain enforceable rights or obligations. Therefore, the lease term does not include the successive one year renewal periods. Under the terms of the agreement, Green Plains Trade is not required to pay for volumetric capacity that is not available due to inspections, upgrades, or routine repairs and maintenance. As a result, the actual volumetric capacity billed may be reduced based on the amount of volumetric capacity available for use during any applicable period. Anticipated minimum operating lease revenue under this agreement for the remainder of 2023 and in future years is as follows (in thousands): Year Ending December 31, Amount 2023 $ 12,953 2024 23,530 2025 20,096 2026 11,386 2027 8,526 Thereafter 1,073 Total $ 77,564 Legal The partnership may be involved in litigation that arises during the ordinary course of business.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONSThe partnership engages in various related party transactions with Green Plains and subsidiaries of Green Plains. Green Plains provides a variety of shared services to the partnership, including general management, accounting and finance, payroll and human resources, information technology, legal, communications and treasury activities. These costs are proportionally allocated by Green Plains to its subsidiaries based on common financial metrics management believes are reasonable. The partnership recorded expenses related to these shared services of $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Of these shared service expenses, $0.5 million and $1.1 million were recorded in operations and maintenance expenses and $0.4 million and $0.8 million were recorded within general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The partnership recorded expenses related to these shared services of $0.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Of these shared service expenses, $0.4 million and $1.0 million were recorded in operations and maintenance expenses and $0.4 million and $0.7 million were recorded within general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, the partnership reimburses Green Plains for wages and benefit costs of employees directly performing services on its behalf. Green Plains may also pay certain direct costs on behalf of the partnership, which are reimbursed by the partnership. The partnership believes the consolidated financial statements reflect all material costs of doing business related to its operations, including expenses incurred by other entities on its behalf. Omnibus Agreement The partnership has entered into an omnibus agreement, as amended, with Green Plains and its affiliates which, among other terms and conditions, addresses the partnership’s obligation to reimburse Green Plains for direct or allocated costs and expenses incurred by Green Plains for general and administrative services; the prohibition of Green Plains and its subsidiaries from owning, operating or investing in any business that owns or operates fuel terminals or fuel transportation assets; the partnership’s right of first offer to acquire assets if Green Plains decides to sell them; a nontransferable, nonexclusive, royalty-free license to use the Green Plains trademark and name; the allocation of taxes among the parent, the partnership and its affiliates and the parent’s preparation and filing of tax returns; and an indemnity by Green Plains for certain environmental and other liabilities. If Green Plains or its affiliates cease to control the general partner, then either Green Plains or the partnership may terminate the omnibus agreement, provided that (i) the indemnification obligations of the parties survive according to their respective terms; and (ii) Green Plains’ obligation to reimburse the partnership for operational failures survives according to its terms. Operating Services and Secondment Agreement The general partner has entered into an operational services and secondment agreement, as amended, with Green Plains. Under the terms of the agreement, Green Plains seconds employees to the general partner to provide management, maintenance and operational functions for the partnership, including regulatory matters, health, environment, safety and security programs, operational services, emergency response, employee training, finance and administration, human resources, business operations and planning. The seconded personnel are under the direct management and supervision of the general partner who reimburses the parent for the cost of the seconded employees, including wages and benefits. If a seconded employee does not devote 100% of his or her time providing services to the general partner, the general partner reimburses the parent for a prorated portion of the employee’s overall wages and benefits based on the percentage of time the employee spent working for the general partner. Under the operational services and secondment agreement, Green Plains will indemnify the partnership from any claims, losses or liabilities incurred by the partnership, including third-party claims, arising from their performance of the operational services secondment agreement; provided, however, that Green Plains will not be obligated to indemnify the partnership for any claims, losses or liabilities arising out of the partnership’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith with respect to any services provided under the operational services and secondment agreement. Commercial Agreements The partnership has various fee-based commercial agreements with Green Plains Trade, including: • Storage and throughput agreement, expiring on June 30, 2029; • Rail transportation services agreement, expiring on June 30, 2029; • Terminal services agreement for the Birmingham, Alabama unit train terminal, expiring on December 31, 2023; and • Terminal services agreement for the Collins, Mississippi terminal, expiring on December 31, 2023. The storage and throughput and rail transportation services agreements have various automatic renewal terms if not cancelled by either party within specified timeframes. The storage and throughput agreement and terminal services agreements are supported by minimum volume commitments. The rail transportation services agreement is supported by minimum take-or-pay volumetric capacity commitments. Under the storage and throughput agreement, as amended, Green Plains Trade is obligated to deliver a minimum volume of 217.7 mmg of product per calendar quarter to the partnership’s storage facilities and pay $0.05312 per gallon on all volume it throughputs associated with the agreement. If Green Plains Trade fails to meet its minimum volume commitment during any quarter, Green Plains Trade will pay the partnership a deficiency payment equal to the deficient volume multiplied by the applicable fee. The deficiency payment may be applied as a credit toward payments due on future volumes delivered by Green Plains Trade in excess of the minimum volume commitment during the following four quarters, after which time this option will expire. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the partnership charged Green Plains Trade $1.2 million related to the minimum volume commitment deficiency for the quarter, resulting in a credit to be applied against excess volumes in future periods. The cumulative balance of minimum volume deficiency credits available to Green Plains Trade is $1.7 million as of June 30, 2023. These credits expire, if unused, as follows: • $0.5 million, expiring on March 31, 2024; and • $1.2 million, expiring on June 30, 2024. The above credits have been recognized as revenue by the partnership in the period in which the deficiency occurred, and as such, future volumes throughput by Green Plains Trade in excess of the quarterly minimum volume commitment, up to the amount of these credits, will not be recognized in revenue in future periods. Under the rail transportation services agreement, Green Plains Trade is obligated to use the partnership to transport ethanol and other fuels from receipt points identified by Green Plains Trade to nominated delivery points. The average daily railcar volumetric capacity provided by the partnership was 70.7 mmg and 71.7 mmg, respectively, and the associated average monthly fee was approximately $0.0301 and $0.0296 per gallon, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The average daily railcar volumetric capacity provided by the partnership was 74.5 mmg and 72.1 mmg, respectively, and the associated monthly fee was approximately $0.0229 and $0.0228 per gallon, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The partnership’s leased railcar fleet consisted of approximately 2,360 and 2,530 railcars as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Green Plains Trade is also obligated to use the partnership for logistical operations management and other services related to average daily railcar volumetric capacity provided by Green Plains Trade, which was approximately 0.7 mmg during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Green Plains Trade is obligated to pay a monthly fee of approximately $0.0013 per gallon for these services. In addition, Green Plains Trade reimburses the partnership for costs related to: (1) railcar switching and unloading fees; (2) increased costs related to changes in law or governmental regulation related to the specification, operation or maintenance of railcars; (3) demurrage charges, except when the charges are due to the partnership’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and (4) fees related to rail transportation services under transportation contracts with third-party common carriers. As needed, Green Plains Trade contracts with the partnership for additional railcar volumetric capacity during the normal course of business at comparable margins. Under the existing Birmingham terminal services agreement, effective through December 31, 2023, Green Plains Trade is obligated to throughput a minimum volume commitment of approximately 8.3 mmg per month and pay associated throughput fees, as well as fees for ancillary services. The partnership recorded revenues from Green Plains Trade under the storage and throughput agreement and rail transportation services agreement of $17.9 million and $35.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $16.7 million and $32.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. In addition, the partnership recorded revenues from Green Plains Trade and other Green Plains subsidiaries related to trucking and terminal services of $1.5 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $2.0 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Cash Distributions The partnership distributed $5.5 million and $11.0 million to Green Plains related to the quarterly cash distribution paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $5.4 million and $10.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	Organization References to “we,” “our,” “us” or “the partnership” in the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements refer to Green Plains Partners LP and its subsidiaries. Green Plains Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Plains Inc., serves as the general partner of the partnership. References to (i) “the general partner” and “Green Plains Holdings” refer to Green Plains Holdings LLC; (ii) “the parent,” “the sponsor” and “Green Plains” refer to Green Plains Inc.; and (iii) “Green Plains Trade” refers to Green Plains Trade Group LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Plains. On May 3, 2023, the Board of Directors of the general partner received a non-binding, preliminary proposal ("the Proposal") from the parent to acquire all of the outstanding common units representing limited partner interests in the partnership not already owned by the parent and its affiliates pursuant to a stock-for-unit merger that would result in the partnership becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the parent. The conflicts committee of the Board of Directors of the general partner (the "Conflicts Committee") has been delegated the authority to evaluate and negotiate the possible terms of a proposed transaction. Any transaction involving the parent and the partnership is subject to the execution of a mutually satisfactory definitive agreement and approval of such definitive agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder by the boards of directors of the parent and the general partner, the Conflicts Committee, as well as the majority of the partnership's unitholders. There can be no assurance that the parties will reach agreement on the terms of a transaction, that a definitive agreement will be executed or that a transaction will be approved or consummated.
Consolidated Financial Statements	Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the partnership and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on a consolidated basis for reporting purposes. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Because they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP, the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the partnership’s 2022 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 10, 2023.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The partnership bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions it believes are proper and reasonable under the circumstances. The partnership regularly evaluates the appropriateness of these estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain accounting policies, including, but not limited to, those related to leases, depreciation of property and equipment, asset retirement obligations, and impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements.
Description of Business	Description of Business The partnership provides fuel storage and transportation services by owning, operating, developing and acquiring ethanol and fuel storage terminals, transportation assets and other related assets and businesses. The partnership is its parent’s primary downstream logistics provider to support the parent’s approximately 1.0 bgy ethanol marketing and distribution business since the partnership’s assets are the principal method of storing and delivering the ethanol the parent produces. The ethanol produced by the parent is fuel grade, made principally from starch extracted from corn, and is primarily used for blending with gasoline. Ethanol is an economical source of octane and oxygenates for blending into the fuel supply. The partnership does not take ownership of, or receive any payments based on the value of the ethanol or other fuels it handles; as a result, the partnership does not have any direct exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. However, commodity prices can potentially impact the demand for the products that we handle.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The partnership recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the completion of services or the transfer of control of products to the customer or another specified third party. For contracts with customers in which a take-or-pay commitment exists, any minimum volume deficiency charges are recognized as revenue in the period incurred and are not allowed to be credited towards excess volumes in future periods.
Operations and Maintenance Expenses	Operations and Maintenance Expenses The partnership’s operations and maintenance expenses consist primarily of lease expenses related to the transportation assets, labor expenses, outside contractor expenses, insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance expenses, and utility costs. These expenses also include fees for certain management, maintenance and operational services to support the storage and terminal facilities, trucks, and leased railcar fleet allocated by Green Plains under the operational services and secondment agreement.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk In the normal course of business, the partnership is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility a loss may occur due to failure of another party to perform according to the terms of their contract. The partnership provides fuel storage and transportation services for various parties with a significant portion of its revenues earned from Green Plains Trade. The partnership continually monitors its credit risk exposure and concentrations. Please refer to Note 2 – Revenue and Note 9 – Related Party Transactions to the consolidated financial statements for additional information .
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill The partnership reviews its long-lived assets, currently consisting primarily of property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No triggering events were identified for the periods reported.
Leases	Leases The partnership leases certain facilities, parcels of land, and railcars. These leases are accounted for as operating leases, with lease expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The term of the lease may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. For leases with initial terms greater than 12 months, the partnership records operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. The partnership did not incur any material short-term lease expense for either the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or June 30, 2022. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the right to control an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the partnership’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. The partnership utilizes a portfolio approach for lease classification, which allows for an entity to group together leases with similar characteristics, provided that its application does not create a material difference when compared to accounting for the leases at a contract level. For the partnership’s railcar leases, the partnership combines the railcars within each contract rider and accounts for each contract rider as an individual lease. From a lessee perspective, the partnership combines both the lease and non-lease components and accounts for them as one lease. Certain of the partnership’s railcar agreements provide for maintenance costs to be the responsibility of the partnership as incurred or charged by the lessor. This maintenance cost is a non-lease component that the partnership combines with the monthly rental payment and accounts for the total cost as operating lease expense. In addition, the partnership has a land lease that contains a non-lease component for the handling and unloading services the landlord provides. The partnership combines the cost of services with the land lease cost and accounts for the total as operating lease expense. The partnership records operating lease revenue as part of its operating lease agreements for storage and throughput services, rail transportation services, and certain terminal services. In addition, the partnership may sublease certain of its railcars to third parties on a short-term basis. These subleases are classified as operating leases, with the associated sublease revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease lease term. From a lessor perspective, the partnership combines, by class of underlying asset, both the lease and non-lease components and accounts for them as one lease. The storage and throughput agreement consists of lease costs paid by Green Plains Trade for the rental of the terminal facilities as well as non-lease costs for the throughput services provided by the partnership. For this agreement, the partnership combines the facility rental revenue and the service revenue and accounts for the total as leasing revenue. The railcar transportation services agreement consists of lease costs paid by Green Plains Trade for the use of the partnership’s railcar assets as well as non-lease costs for logistical operations management and other services. For this agreement, the partnership combines the railcar rental revenue and the service revenue and accounts for the total as leasing revenue.
Asset Retirement Obligations	Asset Retirement ObligationsThe partnership records an ARO for the fair value of the estimated costs to retire a tangible long-lived asset in the period incurred if it can be reasonably estimated, which is subsequently adjusted for accretion expense. Corresponding asset retirement costs are capitalized as a long-lived asset and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s remaining useful life. The expected present value technique used to calculate the fair value of the AROs includes assumptions about costs, settlement dates, interest accretion, and inflation. Changes in assumptions, such as the amount or timing of estimated cash flows, could increase or decrease the AROs. The partnership’s AROs are based on legal obligations to perform remedial activity related to land, machinery and equipment when certain operating leases expire.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting The partnership accounts for segment reporting in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting , which establishes standards for entities reporting information about the operating segments and geographic areas in which they operate.
