Archer Daniels Midland Co., developer of the Illinois Industrial CCS Project, has officially joined the Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute, the institute announced Wednesday. “ADM has been a leader in CCS development for the past nine years at their corn-to-ethanol production facility in Decatur, Illinois, United States. It is a particularly exciting time as the Illinois Industrial CCS Project, led by ADM, will be both the world’s first bio-CCS project at large scale and the first integrated CCS project in the United States to inject CO2 into a deep saline formation at a scale of 1 [Million Tons Per Annum],” the institute said in a press release.
“Members are presented a valuable opportunity to be an integral part of a collaborative, informed and influential international community at the forefront of CCS advocacy, policy development and knowledge sharing,” according to the Global CCS Institute website.
