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
A prospective carbon sequestration project in reservoirs within Cambro-Ordovician strata under the Heidelberg Materials (Lehigh Hanson, Inc), Cement Plant in Mitchell, Indiana for safe storage of more than 50 million metric tons of CO2 over a 30-year timeframe. The project received $8.9 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Carbon Storage Assurance Facility… Continue reading Heidelberg Materials Mitchell CarbonSAFE Sequestration Project
The proposed project includes carbon capture and sequestration at Duke Energy’s integrated gasification combined cycle facility in Edwardsport, Indiana. The proposed design uses a post-combustion capture system enabling fuel flexibility from coal-gasified syngas (primary fuel), natural gas and syngas/natural gas blends. This proposed project uses Honeywell UOP CO2 capture technology with an estimated 3.6M tonnes… Continue reading Edwardsport Flex Fuel Integrated Capture for Indiana’s ENergy Transition (EFFICIENT)
A potential petcoke-to-blue ammonia project in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana. The Wabash Valley Resources facility is expected to produce 500,000 metric tons of anhydrous ammonia annually and it will repower and repurpose an existing gasification plant. It is a commercial-scale waste-to-ammonia production facility that uses CCS technology, with a commercial-scale geological storage complex for storage… Continue reading Wabash | Indiana Blue Ammonia Project
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)
