As low-carbon fuel markets expand and new incentives emerge, ethanol producers are increasingly relying on GHG accounting to quantify emissions, identify reduction opportunities, and capture value.
Join EcoEngineers’ Carbon Counts series for a practical discussion on the GHG accounting principles behind ethanol decarbonization. David LaGreca will be joined by EcoEngineers’ Director of Ethanol and Biodiesel Services Chelsa Oren. They explore how biogas, carbon capture and storage (CCS), farm-level emissions reductions, and emerging incentives like 45Z can influence life-cycle emissions and CI scores. They also examine how evolving fuel market opportunities (including continued efforts to expand E15 adoption) along with programs in California and Canada are shaping demand, investment decisions, and the future value of ethanol. Whether you’re evaluating projects or building a long-term decarbonization strategy, this episode will help you understand the emissions data driving today’s ethanol market.
Key topics include:
- Life-cycle GHG accounting for ethanol production
- The role of biogas and RNG in lowering facility emissions
- Quantifying the emissions benefits of carbon capture and storage (CCS)
- Feedstock and farm-level emissions considerations under 45Z
- GHG accounting requirements in low-carbon fuel programs
- E15 adoption opportunities, infrastructure constraints, and market considerations
- Market drivers influencing low-carbon ethanol demand and value
- Emerging considerations for ethanol producers as regulations and incentives evolve
Carbon Counts is an informational series exploring how guidance from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, state and local jurisdictions, and evolving consumer expectations are redefining transparency in emissions accounting.
