BBI International has announced the upcoming Carbon Capture & Storage Summit, scheduled for June 14–16, 2027, in Omaha, Nebraska, co-located with the International Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo. The conference focuses on technical, economic, and infrastructure developments required to capture and sequester carbon dioxide within the United States commercial biofuels sector. Through a structured agenda featuring expert presentations, executive panel discussions, and technical networking sessions, the event brings together industry leaders, technology providers, and plant managers. The primary goal is examining solutions that establish liquid biofuels as low-carbon alternatives in the commercial energy market.

The central challenge confronting biofuel producers involves reducing life-cycle carbon intensity scores to maintain market competitiveness and satisfy stringent environmental mandates. Capturing and permanently isolating biogenic carbon emissions requires navigating complex economic calculations, capital-intensive infrastructure deployments, and evolving regulatory frameworks surrounding underground injection wells. Commercial facilities face significant operational risk when evaluating new technologies, determining capital allocation, and assessing the financial impacts of participating in carbon abatement mechanisms without clear industry benchmarks and comprehensive technical guidance.

To address these implementation hurdles, BBI International has structured a three-day program managed by a steering committee of industry professionals. The summit features technical breakout sessions evaluating process improvements, financial modeling, and engineering approaches for carbon dioxide capture and storage. Presenters are evaluated on strict criteria requiring specific data, visual schematics, and comparative analysis demonstrating direct operational benefits, cost reductions, or value creation for processing plants. By providing direct access for plant producers and integrating technical expertise with commercial supply chain delegates, the summit establishes a forum for practical knowledge transfer.

The summit provides biofuel manufacturers with actionable insights into the infrastructure, capital expenditure requirements, and commercial advantages of carbon capture and storage deployment. Facilitating direct dialogue between technology providers and decision-makers accelerates the adoption of decarbonization strategies across processing facilities in the United States. Ultimately, these technical and strategic developments support the long-term economic viability of ethanol and biodiesel facilities by securing lower carbon intensity ratings required for emerging low-carbon fuel markets.
