About Poet
POET: Leading the Way in Sustainable Energy
POET is a company that has been at the forefront of sustainable energy for over three decades. Founded in 1987, POET has been dedicated to turning innovative ideas into biofuel and renewable alternative product solutions. With a focus on sustainability, POET has become a leader in the industry and continues to push boundaries with new products and technologies.
One of POET's primary products is ethanol, which is made from corn. Ethanol is an environmentally friendly fuel that can be used as an alternative to gasoline. It burns cleaner than gasoline, reducing harmful emissions and improving air quality. Ethanol also reduces our dependence on foreign oil by providing a domestically produced fuel source.
In addition to ethanol, POET produces DDGS (dried distillers grains with solubles), which are used as animal feed. DDGS are high in protein and fiber, making them an excellent source of nutrition for livestock. They are also cost-effective compared to traditional feed sources.
Another product produced by POET is corn oil, which is extracted during the ethanol production process. Corn oil can be used for cooking or as a biodiesel feedstock. It's another example of how POET maximizes resources while minimizing waste.
POET's commitment to sustainability extends beyond its products; it's ingrained in their business practices too. The company operates under four core values: safety, stewardship, respect, and excellence. These values guide every decision made at POET and ensure that they operate responsibly while delivering high-quality products.
As part of their commitment to sustainability, POET has implemented several initiatives aimed at reducing their environmental impact further. For example:
- They have reduced water usage by 2 billion gallons since 2011.
- They have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by over 8 million metric tons since 2005.
- They have invested over $1 billion in research and development aimed at improving efficiency and reducing waste.
These initiatives demonstrate that sustainability isn't just something that sounds good on paper; it's something that POET takes seriously.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a company committed to sustainable energy solutions look no further than Poet! With thirty years' experience producing biofuels like ethanol along with other renewable alternatives such as DDGS or corn oil extraction methods - this team knows what they're doing when it comes down not only creating but implementing eco-friendly practices throughout all aspects from production through distribution channels too!
