Indigo Ag and Red Trail Energy team up to source low carbon intensity corn

In Massachusetts, Indigo Ag and Red Trail Energy announced a collaboration to source low carbon intensity (CI) corn to support farmers using sustainable practices and benefit from emerging clean fuels market tax credit programs.

Utilizing Indigo’s proven measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) and remote sensing capabilities, RTE will work with Indigo Ag to measure field level carbon intensity (CI) and identify, enroll and verify farmers with the highest potential to produce low CI feedstock. Indigo Ag will produce the data required for tax credit compliance, including data collection, verification and analysis of eligible practices in GREET and other clean fuel calculators. This level of data collection will enable RTE to maximize benefits from clean fuel markets across the U.S. and Canada, starting with the 45Z tax credit in January 2025.
