Green Plains Starts Carbon Capture Infrastructure Build at Nebraska Ethanol Plants
(P&GJ) — Green Plains Inc. has begun construction on carbon capture compression infrastructure at its Nebraska ethanol plants, advancing its Advantage Nebraska strategy. The project will support the permanent sequestration of approximately 800,000 tons of biogenic CO₂ annually from facilities in Central City, Wood River, and York, with operations expected to begin in the second half of 2025.
“Breaking ground at our sites for this project is another milestone in executing our ongoing ‘Advantage Nebraska’ strategy,” said Chris Osowski, Executive Vice President of Operations and Technology. “With construction of the laterals for the Trailblazer CCS project underway and now with compression equipment beginning to be installed, we are positioned to be an early mover in sequestering biogenic CO₂, unlocking significant value for our shareholders.”
The Trailblazer CCS project, led by Tallgrass Energy, aims to transport and store carbon emissions from industrial sites, including Green Plains’ ethanol plants, as part of broader decarbonization efforts in the region. Green Plains’ infrastructure investment positions it as one of the first ethanol producers to integrate large-scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) into its operations.
