During ethanol fermentation, carbon dioxide is naturally produced as yeast converts sugars into ethanol. Today, that CO\u2082 can be captured and purified for use in industrial applications such as food processing and beverage carbonation, where it displaces CO\u2082 that would otherwise need to be produced from other sources.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calgren also continues to advance the <a href=\"https:\/\/calgren.com\/technology\/tccsp\/\">Tulare Carbon Capture and Storage Project<\/a>, which will enable captured CO\u2082 to be permanently stored deep underground in geologic formations. Unlike industrial reuse, this form of carbon capture and storage (CCS) permanently sequesters CO\u2082 and can significantly reduce the carbon intensity of the fuel produced at the facility.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calgren also integrates renewable energy solutions, including renewable natural gas systems that convert dairy manure into pipeline-quality fuel. By turning agricultural waste into usable energy, we help reduce methane emissions while supporting local dairy operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These efforts reflect a broader philosophy: clean energy works best when systems are connected.
