Known for its 7,500 miles of oil and gas pipelines operated in the Midwest, Kansas-City based Tall grass announced plans for a carbon dioxide capturing project in Nebraska where the CO2 will be transported to Wyoming for permanent underground storage.
Tallgrass announced it entered into an agreement with ADM to capture the carbon dioxide from ADM’s corn-processing complex in Columbus, Nebraska. The CO2 will be transported to the Tallgrass Eastern Wyoming Sequestration Hub.
By utilizing a converted natural gas pipeline for CO2 transportation, Tallgrass minimizes the need for new pipeline infrastructure while enabling ADM to further decarbonize its global operations and strengthen Nebraska’s agriculture industry.
Tallgrass is advancing a project to convert its Trailblazer natural gas pipeline to CO2 transportation service and establish an approximately 400-mile CO2 pipeline to serve as the backbone of a regional CO2 transportation system.
The pipeline, which runs through Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska, will be capable of transporting more than 10 million tons of CO2 per year for permanent sequestration and is ideally situated to transport CO2 from ADM’s plant and other commercial and industrial sources to a sequestration hub in eastern Wyoming. In preparation for this initiative, Tallgrass recently announced plans to develop a commercial-scale CO2 sequestration hub in eastern Wyoming expected to be in service in 2024.
