The Definitive Guide to Low CI Biofuels with Regeneratively Grown Feedstocks
Introduction
In July of 2021, the Renewable Fuels Association, representing over 150 of the largest corn growers, biofuels producers, co-ops and big ag companies, sent a letter to U.S. President Joe Biden outlining their commitment to achieving a net-zero carbon footprint by 2050 or earlier. Additionally, most independent producers, including all of the Renewable Fuels Association membership, have signed a pledge to be at a 70% Carbon Intensity discount to gasoline by 2030.
According to energy and ethanol industry leaders, “The future of ethanol will be based in low-carbon farming including reductions in farming energy, fertilizer, and N2O emissions as well as soil carbon sequestration.” For this reason, understanding the intersection between regenerative agriculture, carbon farming and ethanol corn production is important. The entire lifecycle of ethanol is a promising area for decarbonization, and it all starts with how the feedstock is grown.
