The ethanol industry’s contribution to the U.S. economy remained “robust” last year, as record-setting production offset the impact of lower commodity prices, according to a report released Feb. 17 by the Renewable Fuels Association.
POET and Tallgrass on Feb. 13 announced they have entered into definitive agreements to connect POET’s Fairmont, Nebraska, bioprocessing facility to the Tallgrass Trailblazer carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline.
The U.S. agricultural industry is a global leader in high-quality, affordable feed grains and their co-products including biofuels like ethanol and feed additives like distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS).
A revamped distillation system offers producers the potential to reduce steam usage, produce high-purity alcohol and lower overall carbon intensity score.
Mycotoxin testing offers producers the necessary details on contamination levels in the corn entering the plant and the DDGS leaving it.
