BiofuelsFuel Smarter Margins

Strong margins start with sharp measurement. The plants leading today’s market aren’t the biggest, they’re the ones that know their Carbon Intensity and use it to their advantage. Incite.ag helps leading biofuel producers connect their supplier data, energy use, and sourcing decisions into one clear picture of performance.

With better data, you can capture every credit, strengthen margins, and stay ahead of those still guessing

Improve your operations today.And turn emissions into income.

01

Regulatory Boundaries

Carbon Intensity (CI) is defined by regulators. Agencies like the IRS, CARB, and Environment Canada set the rules for what emissions count across a fuel’s lifecycle—from farm to finished gallon—and how system boundaries are drawn.

Energy Use & Process Emissions

Energy inputs like natural gas, electricity, and steam drive ethanol production. Their intensity—whether powered by fossil fuels, renewables, or efficiency gains—directly impacts your CI score.

Feedstock Production Practices

The carbon profile of your feedstocks—including fertilizer use, tillage practices, cover crops, and land use change penalties—can significantly raise or lower CI. Conservation practices are often recognized with measurable CI reductions.

Transportation & Logistics

The movement of goods into and out of the plant plays a major role in CI scoring. The type of transport (truck, rail, barge), the total volume moved, and the distance traveled—from upstream feedstock suppliers to downstream blenders and refiners—all add emissions. Efficient logistics and optimized sourcing can lower transportation’s impact on your CI score.

Process Efficiency & Co-Products

Unique technologies and co-products (like distillers grains, corn oil, or captured CO₂) generate credits that lower CI. Plants with optimized recovery loops and innovative coproduct streams gain a competitive edge.
