Certification journey

We track the progress of a carbon removal project through our certification framework. This roadmap moves from a preliminary assessment of eligibility toward full certification under the Puro Standard.

Download prel. assessment

The facility has successfully completed the preliminary assessment conducted by the Puro team, meeting the minimum criteria for listing as a future supplier on Puro.earth.

The facility has passed the third-party facility audit, verifying compliance with the methodology, as well as output audit, verifying the net volume of removed carbon. The facility has been issued CORCs and continues its removal operations, as well as monitoring and reporting to Puro.earth.

Development status

We monitor a facility’s maturity as it moves toward industrial-scale operations. This status identifies whether a project is in development, under construction, or actively removing carbon from the atmosphere.

The feasibility study is ongoing. The Supplier is still collecting data to prove the concept.

The front-end engineering and design are ready and methodology compliant. There is a clear plan to monitor and measure. The LCA is up to the needed quality level or subject to small improvements. The technology has been used before. There are commercial agreements with the relevant business partners of the facility.

The facility is fully funded and is being implemented. Relevant infrastructure is being built.

The facility is operating as a carbon removal facility.

More about Pratt Zero Carbon, LLC

Pratt Zero Carbon (PZC)'s PECCUS-1 is a Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) project located in Pratt, Kansas, USA. Our project is being built to generate at least 132,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent of durable carbon removal credits annually with a target storage of at least 1,600,000 tonnes over project life. The carbon dioxide is generated from Pratt Energy’s ethanol fermentation operations that rely on locally sourced corn and milo feedstocks from land that has been earmarked for corn/milo production for several decades. The carbon dioxide will be stored in deep geologic formations and monitored via wells that will be constructed to stringent regulatory standards to protect groundwater and local ecology. The PZC project has received its well construction permit from U.S. EPA Region 07 in May 2026. The project is currently in construction and set to begin operations starting first quarter of 2027.

PZC is a cornerstone of Pratt Energy’s aim to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and strive towards net-zero carbon intensity fuel generation for decades to come. This project supports helps support local agricultural communities in the midwestern U.S. while sustaining good paying renewable energy jobs.

The PECCUS-1 project is expected to deliver several co-benefits. Under SDG 7, renewable electricity from wind will be converted into thermal energy via a storage system and delivered as steam to the ethanol process, displacing fossil natural gas and increasing renewable energy use. Under SDG 9, the existing ethanol facility will be retrofitted with carbon capture, electrified CO₂ compression, and renewable thermal energy systems, transforming it into a low-carbon, carbon-negative industrial facility.
