Green Plains publishes climate report
GPRE•Green Plains' 2025 Climate Report says carbon capture has started at three Nebraska biorefineries and that six committed facilities are expected to capture about 1.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. Scope 1 and 2 emissions fell 20% and Scope 3 emissions fell 22%, but operational emissions remain behind the company's 2030 target.
1. Carbon capture begins
Green Plains said its 2025 Climate Report highlights the first operational phase of its sequestration strategy, with carbon capture starting at three Nebraska biorefineries. Six committed biorefineries are expected to capture approximately 1.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.
2. Emissions targets
Scope 1 and 2 emissions declined 20% from 2024, while Scope 3 emissions fell 22%. Operational emissions remain behind the 2030 target of cutting absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions 37.8% from 2021 levels. Green Plains targets carbon-neutral operations by 2050 without using carbon credits or offsets to meet emissions targets.
