The US is the world’s largest producer of ethanol and is said to make ethanol as important in the US energy strategy like LNG at present time.
US multistate pipeline carrying carbon dioxide to be buried for ever
A multi-state carbon capture 392-mile pipeline, owned by Tallgrass Energy, began operating in September this year, reducing emissions from 11 Midwest ethanol plants and carrying that carbon dioxide gas to be forever buried underground in Wyoming, 9,000 feet underground. It is an achievement after years of complaints, lawsuits and legislation blocked similar efforts by other companies. The pipeline, aiming to decarbonize biofuels and support regional energy innovation with significant landowner agreements and community benefits.
