In California, researchers at Stanford University’s Global Climate and Energy Project have released a new report looking at the unparalleled ability of biological systems to capture and cycle carbon, and the potential to use these systems as part of an energy supply that leads to negative emissions.
In Illinois, the Illinois Basin-Decatur Project has reached its first capture milestone with its CCS plant sequestering CO2 from an ethanol facility operated by Archer Daniels Midland. Operations at the first large scale carbon-capture plant began a year ago, injecting 1000 metric tons of CO2 a day into the Mount Simon Sandstone saline reservoir, and […]
In the UK, researchers at the Newcastle Institute for Research on Sustainability (NIReS) are looking to position the North East as a global center for the development of gasification and carbon capture and storage technologies capable of significantly reducing emissions from the region’s carbon-intensive heavy industries. NIReS is currently working on several complementary research projects […]
In Illinois, construction has begun on the $207.5 million carbon capture and storage project at ADM’s ethanol plant in Decatur, near to the existing smaller CCS facility on site. The Dept. of Energy says the project will capture 1 million tons of CO2 annually once it comes online in 2013. The project was partly funded […]
