While the technology has been around since the 1990s, carbon capture when partnered with “clean” fuel and biofuels can be a more economical and effective option for improving the environment and agriculture’s future.
The American Carbon Alliance is a new organization that seeks to be a voice for carbon capture pipelines, ethanol producers, landowners, farmers, construction workers and citizens to embrace a new energy future for the U.S. ACA recently announced new members from the Dakotas.
As a part of the alliance, the North Dakota and South Dakota Ethanol Producers associations will help bring attention to the benefits that carbon capture technology will have on rural communities, the U.S. economy and the ethanol industry.
“We are excited to add the North and South Dakota Ethanol Producers associations to our organization,” says Tom Buis, ACA’s CEO. “These groups are relentlessly dedicated to expanding ethanol production and will be a tremendous asset to our coalition’s work. With their help, we’ll continue working to bring about a new energy future in America.”
The South Dakota Ethanol Producers Association advocates for the expansion of the ethanol industry, increased marketplace access, and greater use and acceptance of ethanol across the state. Its member producers include POET Bioprocessing, Dakota Ethanol, Redfield Energy, Red River Energy and Ringneck Energy.
