Minnesota’s value-added agricultural industry is well-equipped to adapt to a changing climate, with an increased focus on climate resiliency and reducing carbon intensity. Among the emerging opportunities is the productive use of carbon dioxide (CO2) obtained from biological processes associated with agriculture, such as ethanol fermentation or anaerobic digestion.
This webinar will discuss the:
- Supply and demand of agricultural-derived CO2 from ethanol and anaerobic digestion
- Current and projected uses of captured CO2
- Associated environmental benefits of capturing and using CO2
- Latest research on CO2 uses
- Technical and economic challenges and how they are being addressed
Speakers:
- Chad Friese, CEO, Chippewa Valley Ethanol Cooperative
- Sally Hart, Director of Outreach & Community, CapCO2 Solutions, Inc
- Luca Zullo, Ph.D., Sr. Director of Science & Technology, AURI
This is the second webinar in a four-part online seminar series on climate change opportunities for value-added ag businesses. If you missed last month’s webinar, you can view on AURI’s YouTube channel.
