Google to Invest in Illinois Carbon Capture Power Plant
Google announced plans to invest in a 400-megawatt natural gas power plant in Decatur, Illinois, to supply electricity for its nearby data centers.
The project, developed by Low Carbon Infrastructure, will operate next to Archer-Daniels-Midland’s (ADM) ethanol plant, which already runs one of the nation’s longest-standing carbon capture and storage (CCS) operations.
- Google will purchase most of the electricity generated by the new facility.
- ADM will use a portion of the plant’s steam and power for its own operations.
The facility is designed to capture about 90% of its CO₂ emissions and store them underground in the same geological formations used by ADM’s existing CCS wells.
