Question
Adam Shepherd of Stephens Inc. asked for more detail on the incremental benefits of the updated GREET model and how it affects the company's long-term margin outlook.
Answer
Todd Becker, President and CEO, explained that the new GREET model provides even lower starting carbon intensity scores than anticipated, validating their projections and increasing confidence in achieving financial targets for carbon capture.
