More Chronicles of CI Reduction
Summary
Ethanol Producer Magazines Editor previews the May issue, which includes a profile on Calgren Renewable Fuels; the industrys continued adoption of solar and wind power; recovering energy from DDGS dryer exhaust; and ICMs high-protein platform. These clean energy stories came together more by happenstance than design, as we initially planned to cover the lead piece on biogas and renewable natural gas (RNG) two months ago. The story describes Calgren’s special biorefinery in the lower Central Valley, which makes ethanol, biodiesel and RNG. A few years ago, WPE created a separate entity focused solely on wind power, allowing its shareholders and other investors to participate. Jumping ahead (pun intended) to “Recovering to Reduce,” a story on Bioleap, we look at an existing technology that enables ethanol producers to capture and utilize waste heat from their DDGS dryer exhaust.
