The world’s largest biofuel producer says it has reached an agreement to transport carbon from 18 of its Midwestern plants starting in 2025.
POET President Jeff Lautt tells Brownfield capturing and storing carbon dioxide accelerates the company’s path to net-zero emissions. “This is just going to further reduce the carbon intensity of bioethanol, therefore, making us that much more viable well into the future and that much more sought after. That should drive sustainability back to the farmers as well as value back to the farmers.”
Elizabeth Thompson-Burns, vice president of government and public affairs with Navigator CO2, tells Brownfield the pipeline will help producers reduce their carbon footprint.
