Ethanol Plant CO2 Can Produce Green Methanol | Energy.AgWired.com
Prior to the kickoff of the American Coalition for Ethanol Conference last week, CapCO2 Solutions held an open house at the AgriEnergy Innovations ethanol facility in Luverne, Minnesota to showcase a new collaboration utilizing CO2 waste to produce green methanol.
The Case for Carbon Utilization | Ethanol Producer Magazine
While many companies are developing ways to remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere and sequester them deep underground, other innovators are exploring ways to use carbon emissions, turning them into valuable fuels and chemicals.
For decades, many ethanol producers have been selling their CO2 on the merchant market for uses such as freezing meat and carbonating beverages, but new processes and technologies are enabling producers to find even more attractive outlets for their CO2.
Green Methanol: An alternative to a carbon pipeline | Waverly Newspapers
Roughly 80 people crowded into a room at the Waverly Area Veterans Post Dec. 5 to hear about an alternate use of ethanol plants’ CO2 emissions that would not require use of a pipeline.
The CEO of CapCO2 Solutions, Jeff Bonar, led the 1½-hour informational session, explaining how carbon dioxide that results from ethanol production can be combined with hydrogen to produce methanol, which has many commercial uses, including as a fuel.

Opinion: Put ethanol CO2 to work and take steps toward SAF | Des Moines Register
Guest columnist Brian Frye had a thought-provoking take on the future of the ethanol industry in the Sept. 15 Register. We agree that Iowa farmers are not doomed if ethanol plants don’t transition to sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, markets.
Yet, smart utilization of the CO2 from ethanol plants and other industries can lower the carbon intensity of the ethanol produced — for the good of the environment and the good of the industry’s future while taking key steps toward SAF.
An AFO interview: “Greening with Green” | American Farmland Owner
When a computer scientist discovered that software wouldn’t be his preferred solution for his next project that he thinks will benefit agriculture, he found another way. That new way for Dr. Jeff Bonar is green methanol.
Software had been a primary fixture in Bonar’s professional career for years. He briefly thought that it could again be a solution as he transitioned his focus (his children challenged him to do it) to improving the environment by minimizing carbon dioxide emissions. “Carbon accounting,” Bonar explained.
