CIBO Technologies Joins Iowa Renewable Fuels Association – Multi Stakeholder Collaboration Aims to Scale Regenerative Agriculture Efforts in Biofuels Industry.
CIBO Technologies, the climate software company for agriculture, today announced it has joined the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) as an associate member, ahead of sponsoring the Fuel Ethanol Workshop in Minneapolis. CIBO Impact equips biofuels producers with an end-to-end technology platform that helps source and facilitate low-carbon feedstocks from growers using regenerative practices.
The IRFA is the largest renewable fuels association at the state level and Iowa is the biggest ethanol producer in the U.S., with 42 ethanol plants capable of producing 4.5 billion gallons annually. The renewable fuels industry has pledged to reduce the carbon footprint of ethanol up to 70% less than gasoline by 2030. CIBO is committed to advancing regenerative farming practices to help biofuel organizations reach these milestones.
Joining the IRFA will allow CIBO to better reach organizations involved in renewable fuel production, standards advocacy, and policy recommendation. With CIBO Impact, biofuel producers can identify, incentivize, and source low-carbon feedstocks by:
- Taking advantage of the 40B/45Z tax credit by scaling regenerative agriculture programs
- Modeling the total carbon intensity and GHG emissions of crops in renewable fuels supply sheds
- Recruiting growers already producing low-carbon feedstocks
- Deploying, verifying and managing incentive programs to produce low-carbon intensity yields
- Monitoring the status of regenerative programs for carbon reduction and tax credit application
Daniel Ryan, CEO of CIBO Technologies, said:
We’re excited to join the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association and partner with companies in the renewable and biofuels industry that are committed to reducing their footprints and advancing sustainable practices.
“CIBO can help producers and farmers unlock the potential of tax credits with the only commercially available solution that can manage large-scale regenerative agriculture programs.”
Lisa Coffelt, IRFA Marketing Director, shared:
IRFA aims to foster conversations with Iowa’s ethanol and biodiesel producers to advance renewable fuels production through technological innovations.
“We are excited to work with CIBO to educate our members on their end-to-end platform solution to identify, enroll and verify growers using regenerative farming.”
