Carbon Capture & Storage Summit

Preconference

June 13, 2022 ~ Minneapolis, MN

Summit Sponsors

Capturing and storing carbon dioxide in underground wells has the potential to become the most consequential technological deployment in the history of the broader biofuels industry. Deploying effective carbon capture and storage at biofuels plants will cement ethanol and biodiesel as the lowest carbon liquid fuels commercially available in the marketplace. The Carbon Capture & Storage Summit will offer attendees a comprehensive look at the economics of carbon capture and storage, the infrastructure required to make it possible and the financial and marketplace impacts to participating producers.

Presentation topics will include:

Tax Policy
Impact on Carbon Intensity of Fuel
Required Plant Infrastructure
Environmental Permitting
Pipeline Requirements and Construction
Low Carbon Fuel Markets and Mandates

Registration

Sponsor Spotlight

	In early 2021, Summit Carbon Solutions announced a partnership with dozens of ethanol plants across the Midwest. Utilizing proven technology, Summit Carbon Solutions will capture carbon dioxide before it is emitted into the atmosphere and channel it to North Dakota where it will be permanently and safely stored deep underground. Summit Carbon Solutions will drive job growth across the Midwest, reduce emissions, and provide a substantial boost to the ethanol and agricultural industries that are so critical to the U.S. economy.

	Trust Battelle’s multi-disciplinary subsurface teams to cost-effectively move your carbon capture and storage project from plan to operations. We offer ethanol producers an option that is good for the environment and the bottom line. Look to Battelle as a partner to improve your carbon intensity score.

	Navigator CO2 specializes in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and has safely constructed and operated over 1,300 miles of new infrastructure since being founded in 2012. Navigator’s CCUS system, Heartland Greenway, will provide biofuel producers and other industrial processors in five Midwest states with a long-term and cost-effective means to reduce their carbon footprint. Once fully expanded, the system will have the ability to capture, transport, and store up to 15 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.

	We deliver the entire CO₂ capture-transport-storage value chain from screening through development, construction, operation and project closure – with a commitment to finding the right solution for emitters, communities, and the environment. We are a super developer. Carbon America takes the complexity out of Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS).

	Wolf Carbon Solutions US ("Wolf") is a Denver-based developer, owner and operator of carbon capture facilities and pipeline transportation systems. Wolf is backed by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPP Investments") and was formed 2021 with a mandate to invest in energy transition infrastructure across the lower 48. Wolf is an affiliate of Wolf Midstream, the Canadian energy platform, the owner and operator of Alberta Carbon Trunk Line ("ACTL") with ~2 million tonnes of CO2 captured to date.

	Foss & Company, a leader in tax credit financing, has partnered with a world class subsurface and storage provider to provide a powerful one-stop solution for carbon capture and storage projects. Foss & Company and our partners possess the full spectrum of research, development and financing capabilities that will open doors to a market segment not fully utilized.

Agenda

Monday, June 13
Room 101FG

7:30 am – 8:30 am	Breakfast 101 Lobby
8:30 am – 10:00 am	Game Changer: Reviewing the Ambitions for CCS in Ethanol's Journey to America's First Zero Carbon Transportation Fuel Read Description The carbon intensity of ethanol has been steadily declining since the first plants were brought online, propelled by the economic returns of increased efficiencies. The emergence of low carbon fuel markets further accelerated this momentum and the industry’s ambitions now go beyond low-carbon production and towards carbon neutrality. The promise of a carbon neutral transportation fuel hinges on the industry’s ability to deploy carbon capture and storage across the installed ethanol fleet. This opening panel will set the stage for the remainder of the program by establishing the opportunity before the sector and the obstacles that will need to be overcome to capture it. Moderator: Jim Pirolli, Chief Commercial Officer, Summit Carbon Solutions Scyller Borglum, Vice President, Underground Storage Market, Energy, WSP USA CCUS – A Storied History in Oil and Gas Roxby Hartley, Senior Regulatory Consultant, EcoEngineers CCS and How CARB is Changing How We Handle Carbon at Biofuels Plants Bryen Alperin, Director of Renewable Energy & Sustainable Technologies, Foss & Company An Examination of What the 45Q Tax Credit Means for Ethanol Producers Elizabeth Burns-Thompson, VP, Government and Public Affairs, Navigator CO2 CCS in Action: The Heartland Greenway Project
10:00 am – 10:30 am	Networking Break 101 Lobby
10:30 am – 12:00 pm	The Work Underway to Ensure Federal and State Policy are Ready When Carbon Capture and Storage Comes of Age Read Description While planned carbon capture and storage projects garner most of the media attention relative to this exciting chapter in the industry’s history, an equally important effort is underway to build the regulatory and policy framework to support these efforts. Before producers can make decisions about investing in the technology, they will need to understand the tax and regulatory implications of participation. This panel will feature professionals well-steeped in the efforts underway to establish a regulatory and policy environment that incentivizes and rewards rather than constrains the game-changing carbon step down CCS is capable of delivering. Moderator: John Lee, P.E., Senior Vice President, Barr Engineering Matt Fry, State & Regional Policy Manager for Carbon Management, Great Plains Institute Ensuring States and the Industry are Carbon Capture Ready Donna Funk, Principal, K-Coe Isom LLP Carbon Capture and LCFS – Tax Policy What You Should Know Aaron Hood, CFO, Summit Carbon Solutions Overcoming Uncertainty and Complexity in CCUS Development Jessie Stolark, Public Policy & Member Relations Manager, Carbon Capture Coalition The Federal Framework for CO₂ Capture, Transport, Utilization and Storage: A Rapidly Evolving Landscape
12:00 pm – 1:30 pm	Networking Lunch 101 Lobby
1:30 pm – 3:00 pm	Anticipating Air and Well Permit Requirements for Ethanol Producers Considering CCS Deployment at their Operations Read Description Veterans of the ethanol industry are well-schooled in the potential within air and water permits to slow or even halt plant construction or expansion. Producers eyeing carbon capture at their operations will need to dust off their permitting playbook and presenters from this panel will help them refresh their proactive thinking. While the industry is still maturing, this panel will draw upon the lessons already learned from those projects already underway that have had to confront the challenge of obtaining permits from agencies still working to get their arms around this transformational technology. Moderator: Jon Cartlidge, Commercial Sales Director, Battelle Kevin Pykkonen, Executive Vice President of Commercial Development, Carbon America The Carbon Capture & Sequestration Permitting Process and Lessons Learned Billy VonSee, Senior Analyst, Merjent, Inc.

3:30 pm – 5:00 pm	Best Laid Plans: Learning from the Development Phase of Planned Carbon Capture and Storage Projects Read Description The Carbon Capture and Storage Summit concludes with a discussion built around two projects under active development. The panel also features a review of the capture and storage technologies available to producers and project developers as well as some critical development considerations project teams must consider to stay aligned with CARB and EPA requirements. The discussion promises an opportunity for attendees to accelerate their own projects, adding the lessons learned in these early efforts to their own development strategy.
