The Marquis Industrial Complex houses Marquis Energy-Illinois, the largest dry grind ethanol plant in the world.
CO2 will be captured from the facility, compressed, dehydrated, and injected into an on-site well for permanent underground storage, all located within the Marquis Industrial complex. Once constructed, the project will be the largest operational BECCS (Bio-Energy Carbon Capture and Storage) project in the state of Illinois, permanently sequestering 1,200,000 tons/year of CO2.
"This project is an exceptional application for CCS technology and will make Marquis a leading producer of low carbon bio-products," said Ryan Arnold, Director of Business Development, Gas Liquids Engineering,
"GLE is truly pleased to bring our experience and long-standing resume of sequestration projects to this project, which represents a major step forward in the decarbonization of the ethanol industry. We are proud to be working with Marquis on one of the largest sequestration projects underway in the USA."
