Google Invests in Carbon Capture Power Plant Amid Industry Performance Questions
Google is investing in an Illinois natural gas power plant that aims to capture approximately 90% of its carbon emissions. The project comes as analysts suggest carbon capture facilities worldwide are underperforming expectations, with one similar Canadian plant capturing only half its target.
Google’s Carbon Capture Power Investment
Google will invest in a new natural gas power plant in Illinois that intends to capture the majority of its carbon emissions, according to reports. The 400-megawatt facility will be constructed outside Decatur adjacent to an Archer Daniels Midland ethanol plant that already employs carbon capture technology.
