en.Wedoany.com Reported - PureField Ingredients announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved permanent geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide at its Russell, Kansas operations. Following this approval, the company will launch one of the most advanced integrated platforms in the U.S. for food, fuel, and carbon, achieving step-change emission reductions through carbon capture and sequestration operations, positioning itself as one of the lowest carbon intensity ethanol producers globally.
The platform is a fully integrated system: Kansas wheat is processed into functional food ingredients, the remaining wheat starch is converted into ethanol and animal feed, and the carbon dioxide generated from fermentation is captured and permanently sequestered underground. This "zero-waste" model creates multiple value streams from a single feedstock, offering a structural carbon advantage over traditional biofuel pathways.
PureField's ethanol, sourced from residual wheat starch, has a significantly lower carbon intensity than traditional biofuels. Combined with CCS technology, its fuel is positioned as one of the lowest carbon intensity options on the global market, capable of achieving net-zero or even negative carbon intensity under applicable methodologies.
The project provides a durable demand for approximately 20 million bushels of Kansas wheat and sorghum from local farmers. The domestically produced high-quality functional wheat protein will reduce import dependence—currently, imports account for 70% of U.S. demand.
PureField CEO Aaron Buettner stated that this approval is a defining moment for the company in serving Kansas farmers and global customers. By combining advanced wheat-based ingredients with carbon capture, they will deliver some of the world's lowest carbon intensity fuels while producing essential food ingredients.
