ACE launches carbon intensity (CI) calculator

The American Coalition for Ethanol introduced a new carbon intensity (CI) calculator to help its members understand the carbon intensity (CI) of their farms and ethanol operations along with a simplified version of the tool to raise awareness about factors impacting the CI of ethanol.

These tools help illustrate corn ethanol’s ability to attain net-zero and net-negative greenhouse gas emissions.

ACE’s detailed calculator allows users to break through this confusion by using their own corn farming and ethanol production information to estimate a carbon score and compare it to the Argonne National Laboratory’s GREET model and average scores used by the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
