Illinois Industrial Carbon Capture and Storage Project
The Illinois Industrial Carbon Capture and Storage Project is an initiative designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial processes. It captures carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced during manufacturing and other industrial activities, then compresses and transports it to underground rock formations for long-term storage. This process helps lower the amount of CO₂ released into the atmosphere, mitigating climate change. The project aims to make industry more environmentally sustainable while maintaining economic activity, leveraging advanced technology to safely and permanently store CO₂ beneath the earth’s surface.
