Our future plants in Southern Arkansas & North Louisiana will give us proximity to an abundant feedstock supply, as well as an ideal geology for carbon sequestration. With 10x our supply needs within 100 miles and 6x our supply needs within 70 miles, our locations will provide supply security, price stability, excellent project returns and scalability for future plants.
With increased harvesting and advances in growth stock, replanting our harvest will result in a net increase of timber growth and products produced. The area also boasts three possible carbon sequestration formations and ample pore space for sequestration.
