Since the industry’s build out in the early 2000s renewable fuel producers have been actively working to reduce the carbon impact of their produced fuels. The emergence of low carbon fuel markets spurred innovation across the sector and the trajectory points toward fuels with continually decreasing carbon intensity. The promise of carbon capture and storage is a dramatic acceleration of these shared low carbon ambitions making carbon neutral or carbon negative fuels a near-term possibility. This panel will feature a discussion with fuel and pipeline representatives to assess the promise and progress of this transformative technology on the Midwest’s critical renewable fuels sector.

If carbon capture and storage is to deliver on its promise of reversing rising levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, this nascent sector will have to perfect not only the technical aspects of underground storage but the legal and regulatory aspects of reservoir utilization as well. This panel will build upon the body of work the sector has inherited from the fossil fuel industry and outline how projects should be thinking about their reservoir resource, how to maximize its storage potential and how each financial partner shares in a project’s risk and returns.

Monitoring injected CO2 in underground reservoirs serves dual purposes, both of which are fundamental for the industry to grow and thrive. First, incentive programs driving interest and investment in the technology require that CO2 deposits are measured, verified and secure. Second, monitoring will be utilized to ensure sequestered CO2 wells remain stable and that plume leakage is rapidly detected to mitigate risk and protect critical underground aquifers. Panelists will outline the technologies being used to satisfy both of these critical elements of a carbon capture and storage project.

For a CCS project to attract funding and get built its developers must successfully link the right technology to the right emitters serving the right combination of markets and incentive programs. Navigating these interrelated variables successfully will challenge even the most seasoned development teams. This panel will offer attendees an opportunity to sense check some assumptions in their own projects and identify some areas of unrealized potential or risk in their development plan.

While the imperative to capture and store CO2 streams across the global economy is clear, the technological way forward is less so. Panelists in this discussion will describe where we are with regard to the development of successful technologies, where they’ve come from and where they must go if the industry is to grow to a scale where its contributions to CO2 reductions are going to be meaningful.

The emergence of low carbon fuel markets set into a motion a wave of innovation across the ethanol industry to drive down the carbon intensity of produced fuel. That wave has now broken onto the shores of carbon capture technologies, arguably the biggest innovation in the industry’s history. The technology has introduced the concept of net-zero fuel ethanol into the conversation and the industry is endeavoring to bring this bold promise to fruition. This panel will outline how policy has set the stage for CCS in the ethanol industry while also establishing the pathways producers will have to take to quantify, verify and monetize their captured carbon.

As multiple CCS projects progress down a development pathway, a parallel effort is underway to establish clear permitting protocols to aid in the efficient completion of state and federal regulatory requirements. This panel will feature presentations on permitting requirements at not just the plant site but “down the hole” well requirements also. The panelists all boast deep experience in not only the ethanol sector but also bring to the discussion lessons learned from this nascent industry’s earliest projects.
