ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Dec. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verity Holdings, LLC (“Verity”) is pleased to announce that it has added ethanol producer Midwest Renewable Energy, LLC (“MRE”) as a client that intends to track sustainability while improving its profitability. With the additional client, Verity continues to expand its customer base in biofuels, and MRE expects to use Verity products and services to simplify its data collection, data management, and lifecycle analysis (“LCA”) calculations to help its participation in low carbon fuel production programs and incentives.
Based in Sutherland, Nebraska, MRE produces, and markets, high-quality ethanol for a range of applications, including products graded for fuel, industrial, USP or pharmaceutical, food, and beverages. MRE is looking for expanded monetization opportunities and identified pathways to drive additional value for their ethanol across tax credits, compliance, and voluntary markets.
“Verity will work with MRE to prove and quantify its carbon-intensity metrics across its entire business system,” says Dr. Paul Bloom, Head of Verity and Gevo’s Chief Carbon Officer and Chief Innovation Officer. “Verity intends to help MRE improve the bottom line for its homegrown products.”
MRE turned to Verity to serve as its end-to-end carbon accounting platform. From field-level carbon intensity scores for corn feedstock to process and production carbon intensity scores attributed to every gallon of ethanol, Verity provides businesses with a data-driven tool that simplifies decisions and drives profitability. By partnering with Verity, MRE gains access to opportunities with other Verity clients to further monetize carbon value beyond regulatory and compliance programs, including but not limited to the voluntary carbon market.
