Proposed CA LCFS pathways for corn starch ethanol with carbon capture and sequestration: as low as 37 gCO2e/MJ

Green Car Congress

North Dakota-based Red Trail Energy (RTE), which since 2007 has operated an ethanol production facility with annual production of about 60 million gallons per year, is proposing sequestration of CO 2 produced from starch fermentation to lower the overall carbon intensity of the fuel for the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS).

First-of-a-Kind Field Test for Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery with Simultaneous CO2 Sequestration

Green Car Congress

Pre-test injection simulations they conducted in collaboration with West Virginia University and the Zero Emission Research and Technology (ZERT) team, headquartered at Montana State University, will help determine reservoir properties, CO 2 -injection and methane-production rates, and structural responses of the reservoir.
