March 14, 2023
BY Gas Liquids Engineering Ltd.
Gas Liquids Engineering Ltd. (GLE) is pleased to announce the commencement of detailed engineering on a major carbon capture and sequestration project for Marquis Carbon Capture LLC at the Marquis Industrial Complex that houses the Marquis Energy-Illinois LLC largest dry grind ethanol plant in the world. Carbon dioxide (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 (bioenergy carbon capture and storage) project in the state of Illinois, permanently sequestering 1.2 million 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."
