The Power of the Seed
Nothing is Wasted
POET utilizes corn from America's heartland to produce a wide variety of bioproducts. Corn is processed and separated into earth-friendly consumer products and high-protein feed ingredients for animals. Learn more below about the process, products and how bioprocessing can lead us toward a more sustainable future.
Low Carbon Bioproducts
Utilizing a variety of carbon intensity (CI) reduction strategies and emerging technologies in the bioproducts sector, POET is positioned for growth and success in the development and production of a variety of low carbon plant-based products. Through innovation and technology, we believe every product that comes from a barrel of oil can instead be grown from the surface of the Earth.
Below are some of the bioproducts POET is producing to help create a better world.

Why Bioproducts Matter
Stability for Agriculture
POET's bioproducts provide stability to rural farmers by creating a reliable market for their crops, adding value to their grain, and ensuring a steady income for rural communities. Bioprocessing also ensures abundant supplies of high-quality, high-protein animal feed.
Clean Domestic Energy
We create American-made biofuel produced from locally-grown corn. Biofuels support energy independence and reduce reliance on foreign oil sources. Our commitment to domestically producing energy strengthens national security while supporting the livelihoods of American farmers and their families.
Reducing Vehicle Emissions
Biofuels play a crucial role in lowering vehicle emissions and replacing harmful chemicals found in traditional gasoline. POET offers a cleaner alternatives to petroleum-based fuels, such as bioethanol which helps improve air quality and better protects public health.
Better for the Environment
Our bioproducts contribute to a healthier planet by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting climate-smart agricultural practices, minimizing environmental impacts, providing renewable alternatives to fossil fuels and products, and promoting a more sustainable future for all.
CCUS
Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage refers to technologies that enable the mitigation of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.
SAF
Sustainable Aviation Fuel is an alternative fuel that reduces emissions from air transportation.
Bioplastics
Bioplastics are materials produced from plants rather than those derived from fossil-fuel.
