Our future plant in Southern Arkansas will give us proximity to an abundant feedstock supply, as well as an ideal geology for carbon sequestration. With 4x our supply needs within 100 miles of our site, our location 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.
