On Monday, Jim Pirolli, Summit Carbon Solutions’ Chief Commercial Officer, moderated a panel called Game Changer: Reviewing the Ambitions for CCS in Ethanol’s Journey to America’s First Zero Carbon Transportation Fuel. The panel dove into the opportunities of CCS as well as the obstacles the industry will need to overcome.

Bruce Rastetter, CEO of Summit Agriculture Group, headlined the FEW and discussed the important economic impact summit’s pipeline will have throughout the Midwest. The project is expected to generate $371 million in federal, state, and local taxes as well as create 11,427 jobs.
“Summit Carbon Solutions is committed to driving the future of agriculture by expanding economic opportunities for ethanol producers across the footprint of our project,” said Rastetter. “This project will be transformational for the ethanol industry and, by extension, the agriculture industry, creating stable corn markets for generations of farmers”
