Summit Carbon Solutions and Infinium, a leading electrofuels (eFuels) producer, have entered an arrangement for the supply of up to 670,000 metric tons of CO2 annually at a proposed eFuels facility in North Dakota or South Dakota.
According to new statistical reports released by the RFA, the value of the U.S. ethanol industry’s exports rose to a peak of $7.5 billion in 2024, fueled by a record 1.91 billion gallons of ethanol exported in 2024.
The U.S. exported 194.42 million gallons of ethanol in December, bringing export volumes for the full year 2024 to a record 1.91 billion gallons, according to data released by the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service on Feb. 5.
Summit Carbon Solutions has filed a legal action to ensure a fair and transparent process for the South Dakota PUC review of its pipeline permit. The company has asked the court to prevent one of the commissioners from participating in the decision.
Representatives of the U.S. biofuels and bioenergy industries are among more than 160 companies, trade groups, labor unions and policy organizations that are calling on federal lawmakers to maintain support for the 45Q tax credit.
