Google Invests in Illinois Natural Gas Plant with Carbon Capture Technology

Google has committed to purchasing power from a new 400MW natural gas facility in Illinois, which will integrate carbon capture to sequester over 90% of emissions. The project, developed with Low Carbon Infrastructure, aims to advance CCS technology and support regional data centers.

Google Backs Low-Carbon Gas Power Initiative

Google has entered into a corporate agreement with project developer Low Carbon Infrastructure (LCI) to support a 400MW natural gas power plant integrated with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in Decatur, Illinois. According to reports, the Broadwing Energy Center is projected to capture and permanently store more than 90% of its carbon dioxide emissions, marking a significant step in scaling CCS for power generation.

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.
