Understanding 45Z:
The Role of Farmer-Owned Cooperatives and Grain Elevators in CI Score Tracking and Auditing
As the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit creates new opportunities across the agricultural supply chain, farmer-owned cooperatives and grain elevators may play an increasingly important role in connecting agricultural production to low-carbon fuel markets.
This webinar will feature Mitchell Hora of Continuum Ag, who will explore how farmer-owned cooperatives and grain elevators fit into the 45Z value chain, with a focus on carbon intensity (CI) score tracking, data collection and audit readiness.
Date: November 17, 2026
Time: 12 - 1 PM CDT
Attendees will gain a better understanding of how grain handling facilities can support CI documentation, help maintain data integrity and prepare for evolving requirements as the agricultural and renewable fuels industries work to capture the value of lower-carbon grain.
Key Takeaways:
