GLE commences engineering on carbon capture at Marquis Industrial complex

CALGARY — Gas Liquids Engineering Ltd. (GLE) announces 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. 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. 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,” said Ryan Arnold, Director of Business Development, Gas Liquids Engineering.

“Working with our community, we are building a sustainable world for future generations. This is an important step to decarbonize our bioproducts of feed, fuel, and chemicals,” said Jason Marquis COO, Marquis, Inc.

Gas Liquids Engineering is a Canadian engineering service provider for energy and processing facilities, with operational CO2 and acid gas sequestration projects.
