March 8, 2024--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Ethanol production results in substantial carbon emissions, so when leading U.S. ethanol producer Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO) (San Antonio, Texas) established long-term emissions-reduction goals, its more immediate milestones were for emissions reduction in the company's refining, rather than ethanol, sector. Nevertheless, Valero has set a companywide goal of reducing its overall emissions by 45 million metric tons by 2050.
