ADM receives clean DoE grant
US agri-giant and biofuels producer Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) is cleaning up its emissions with the assistance of a Department of Energy (DoE) grant.
The $99.2 million (€80.9 million) grant is for a commercial-scale carbon sequestration project to capture and store 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year from ADM’s ethanol facility in Decatur, Illinois.
The $163.9 million industrial carbon capture and sequestration (ICCS) project is the second carbon sequestration project undertaken by ADM and project partners Schlumberger Carbon Services and the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) at the University of Illinois.
The ICCS project will demonstrate commercial-scale carbon capture and storage through the construction and operation of a collection, compression and dehydration facility capable of delivering 2,755 tonnes a day of carbon dioxide to the injection and sequestration site.
The project will capture a total of more than 2.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide and store it approximately 7,000 feet underground in the Mount Simon Sandstone, an underground rock formation. ADM is contributing $43.6 million to the project, which is expected to conclude in the Q3 2015.
