Red Tail Energy looking to CCS by 2020

In North Dakota, if all goes well with the transfer of decision making power to the state level from the federal level, Red Tail Energy could be ready to implement its carbon capture and storage project in the Broom Creek Formation by 2020. The company is looking to store up to 4 million tons of CO2 per year during 20 years to reduce the carbon intensity of its ethanol production as a way to make it more competitive in the market. The company already ships much of its ethanol to California where low carbon fuels are prioritized.
