The development of a synthetic fuel project in central Illinois. Illinois Clean Fuels would be a commercial production-scale synthetic fuel project producing 414,000,000 gallons per year of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel from municipal garbage. This plant would combine bio-energy with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS)..
The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois is leading an effort to promote technologies that can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The effort includes the development of a DAC hub in the Illinois Basin, a proven geological storage strata stretching under Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky. The Illinois Basin Regional DAC Hub intends… Continue reading Illinois Basin Regional DAC Hub
The Greater St. Louis and Illinois region is uniquely positioned to provide continuity with other clean hydrogen hubs through existing infrastructure and natural resources, including navigable rivers, such as the Illinois, Missouri, and Mississippi; interstate highway connections to other major metropolitan areas, including Chicago, Indianapolis and Kansas City; the Port of St. Louis; excellent geology… Continue reading Greater St. Louis and Illinois Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub Industrial Cluster (Encouraged)
The development of the Broadwing Clean Energy Complex, an Allam-Fetvedt cycle 280 MW power plant. The Broadwing facility will be located adjacent to ADM’s processing complex in Decatur, storing captured carbon a mile and a half underground via ADM’s carbon capture and storage system. 8 Rivers, through its Zero Degrees development business, aims to reach… Continue reading Broadwing Clean Energy Complex
The project involves the development of Sauk Valley Hydrogen project in Illinois by Invenergy and Ohmium International. The project, built over five acres of land, will generate green hydrogen by utilizing power from Invenergy’s co-located solar plant and Ohmium International low-carbon electrolyzer technology. The Sauk Valley Hydrogen Project is expected to generate up to 52… Continue reading Sauk Valley Green Hydrogen Project
By working with a consortium of partners, including state, federal, local, private, and nonprofit entities, the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (MTD) made history when it introduced its new zero-emission fleet technology, including a 100 percent renewable hydrogen production station, as well as the nation’s first commercial deployment of 60-foot articulated hydrogen fuel cell electric buses.… Continue reading NEL-Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District
A seven-state coalition including Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Little has been published about the concept, but an MoU notes that the Midwest has a recognized diversity of clean hydrogen production pathways, giving participating states the opportunity to capitalize on their natural assets. It also states that the Midwest has the largest… Continue reading Midwestern Hydrogen Coalition (encouraged)
The company, which is developing the plant in partnership with LanzaJet, a SAF firm, recently completed a feasibility study for the project, and is looking for airlines or users of renewable diesel as offtakers. Marquis owns and operates a 400 million gallon per year ethanol plant – the largest dry-grind ethanol plant in the world… Continue reading Marquis SAF plant
