Poet – Portland completes construction on renewable CO2 addition
Summary
This addition allows the facility to capture renewable CO2, a co-product of Poet’s bioethanol production process, to be sold for commercial use. The CO2 our facilities produce is reabsorbed by the upcoming corn crop, meaning no new CO2 is added to the atmosphere. So our regenerative process results in a CO2 product that’s one of the most sustainable on the market.” Poet is one of the fastest-growing renewable CO2 businesses in the United States. The company currently supplies a nationwide customer base with CO2 applications, including beverage carbonation, food processing, municipal water treatment, fire suppression, and various industrial uses. Poet’s mission is to work in rhythm with nature to make the world a more sustainable place, and this addition to the Portland facility brings us another step closer to our carbon goals and enables us to increase the availability of our Earth-friendly CO2.” To read more about Poet’s commitment to sustainability, please visit https://poet.com/sustainability
