The Midwest is brimming with exciting CCS projects and we are proud to showcase them here.
Heartland Greenway
Information: https://heartlandgreenway.com/
Who: Navigator CO2 Ventures
Where: Illinois, Iowa
Status: Potential
About: Heartland Greenway is a CCUS system proposed by Navigator CO2 targeting biofuel production and industry. The project spans across the Midwestern states of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota and will enable customers to reduce their carbon emissions. The project will help customers construct and finance their own carbon capture facilities and will transport captured carbon to a sequestration region where it will be stored underground. When completed, the project will have the ability to capture and store 15 million tons of CO2 yearly.

Midwest Carbon Expressway
Information: https://summitcarbonsolutions.com/
https://summitcarbonsolutions.com/summit-agricultural-group-announces-creation-of-summit-carbon-solutions-and-worlds-largest-carbon-capture-and-storage-project/
Who: Summit Carbon Solutions
Where: Iowa
Status: Potential
About: The Midwest Carbon Expressway is a project led by Summit Carbon Solutions who is seeking to create the largest carbon capture hub in the world. Covering 5 Midwestern states – Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota – the project intends to dramatically reduce carbon emissions from ethanol production. By installing carbon capturing in the ethanol industry, producers will be able to cut their carbon emissions in half.
