An oxyfuel retrofit of an idled 65-year-old facility in Illinois. The project got a $1 billion award for FutureGen from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. This money was formally committed on September 28, 2010, and needed to be spent by September 2015 or it would have been forfeited. The project was coordinated by the… Continue reading FutureGen
The Mt. Simon Hub will allow for the capture, compression, and transportation of CO₂ via a 280-mile steel pipeline capable of transporting 12 million tons of CO₂ per year. Wolf Carbon Solutions and ADM have signed a Letter of Intent allowing CO₂ produced at ADM’s Clinton and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, facilities to be transported via… Continue reading Wolf Carbon Solutions Mt. Simon Hub
Constellation will use a portion of the US DOE hydrogen hub funding to build the world’s largest nuclear-powered clean hydrogen production facility at its LaSalle Clean Energy Center in Illinois. The project will produce an estimated 33,450 tons of clean hydrogen each year and create thousands of good-paying jobs. Constellation estimates its LaSalle clean hydrogen… Continue reading Constellation’s LaSalle Clean Energy Center
Paradigm has secured a long-term MSW (Municiple Solid Waste) supply sufficient enough to support a 10 Mgal/y plant. Construction of the facility was supposed to start in 2012.
A biofuels plant in Cairo, Illinois. In 2019, SynSel Energy announced plans to develop a biorefinery in Cairo, Illinois on the former site of a shuttered wood mill. SynSel will repurpose the same renewable wood feedstock formerly used by the wood mill, to produce 180,000 gallons per day of synthetic biofuels. Cairo, IL is located… Continue reading SynSel Cairo Biofuels Plant
A biofuels plant in Alton, Illinois. The plant is expected to use waste wood as feedstock to produce drop-in renewable biofuel. The refinery will be on the former site of the Laclede Steel and Smurfit Stone containerboard and pulp operations. SynSel will repurpose the same renewable wood feedstock formerly used by the Smurfit Stone operations… Continue reading SynSel Alton Biofuels Plant
The conversion of Archer-Daniels-Midland’s (ADM) bio-ethanol complex in Decatur, Illinois, into a SAF production facility. ADM and Gevo signed an MoU in October 2021 to support the production of SAF and other low-carbon-footprint hydrocarbon fuels. The MoU contemplates the production of both ethanol and isobutanol that would then be transformed into renewable low-carbon-footprint hydrocarbons, including… Continue reading ADM | Gevo | Decatur SAF Project
The Heartland Greenway Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) project is expected to provide the infrastructure and network to connect industrial emitters of CO2 to new and developing markets for their carbon, while ensuring project developers have access to a CO2 supply. In May 2023, Navigator CO2 entered into an MoU with Infinium to deliver 600,000 tons… Continue reading Heartland Greenway Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Project
Potential commercial-scale CO2 geological storage complexes in the East sub-basin of the Illinois Basin, with a view toward identifying sites capable of storing more than 50 million metric tons of CO2 from one or more industrial sources. The project is part of the Integrated Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Pre-Feasibility phase of the Carbon Storage… Continue reading CarbonSAFE Illinois East Sub-Basin
