Lapis Carbon Solutions and Big River Resources have submitted a Class VI permit application for a carbon capture and storage project in Galva, Illinois. The project aims to sequester over 725,000 tons of CO2 annually for 12 years, reducing the carbon intensity of ethanol production.

A stratigraphic test well confirmed favorable conditions for CO2 storage. The initiative supports the decarbonization of ethanol supply chains and may qualify for federal tax credits, enhancing commercial viability.
