The Power of the Seed
Nothing is Wasted
POET utilizes corn grown in America's heartland to produce a wide variety of bioproducts. Corn is processed and separated into biofuel, Earth-friendly consumer products, and high-protein animal feed ingredients. Keep scrolling to learn more about the process, products, and how bioprocessing can lead us toward a more sustainable future.
Sustainable Bioproducts
POET utilizes a variety of emerging technologies and sustainable practices to best position the company for continued success in the development and production of plant-based bioproducts. By combining the power of nature with human innovation, we believe every product that comes from a barrel of oil can instead be grown from the surface of the Earth.
Below are some examples of the ways that POET’s bioproducts that are contributing to a better, cleaner world.

Why Bioproducts Matter
Creating Stability for Agriculture
POET's bioproducts provide stability for American farmers by creating a reliable market for their crops, adding value to their grain, and ensuring a steady income for rural communities. Bioprocessing also provides abundant supplies of high-quality, high-protein animal feed that go right back to the farm!
Boosting Domestic Energy Production
We use locally grown corn to produce bioethanol, a cleaner-burning, lower-cost fuel. American-made biofuels support our nation’s energy independence by reducing reliance on foreign oil sources. Our commitment to domestically produced energy strengthens national security while supporting the livelihoods of American farmers and their families.
Reducing Harmful Emissions
Biofuels play a critical role in replacing harmful chemicals found in traditional gasoline, therefore lowering toxic emissions from the tailpipe. This improves the quality of the air we breathe and helps to protect public health.
Promoting a Sustainable Future
POET contributes to a healthier planet by supporting Climate-Smart Agricultural (CSA) practices, minimizing environmental impacts, reducing harmful emissions, and creating renewable bioproducts. By offering cleaner, plant-based alternatives to petroleum-based products, we’re 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.
