Biogenic CO2 from Green Plains’ three NE ethanol plants sequestered via Tallgrass

In Nebraska, Green Plains Inc. announced that biogenic carbon dioxide from all three of its Nebraska facilities, Central City, Wood River, and York, is now being captured, transported on the Trailblazer pipeline and permanently sequestered at Tallgrass’ southeast Wyoming sequestration hub.

The company also reported receipt of its first 45Z clean fuel production credit payment of approximately $14 million, representing a portion of the 2025 production tax credits transferred under a previously announced agreement. Additional payments related to the remaining 2025 tax credits are expected in the first quarter of 2026. September year to date, Green Plains has recorded approximately $26.5 million in 45Z value generated prior to activating carbon capture systems. Under the 45Z program, eligible low-carbon fuel producers earn production tax credits based on the carbon intensity of their fuel, meaning that as the plants further reduce their carbon intensity, credit value per gallon is expected to increase.
