Cardinal Ethanol's reported carbon emissions

Cardinal Ethanol, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the company. As a result, Cardinal Ethanol's climate commitments and initiatives remain unclear. The company does not inherit emissions data from a parent organisation, nor does it have any cascading targets from initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). In the context of the ethanol industry, companies are increasingly focusing on reducing their carbon footprints and enhancing sustainability practices. However, without specific data or commitments from Cardinal Ethanol, it is challenging to assess their position in this evolving landscape.
