DENVER AND CHICAGO, January 11, 2022/CNW/ – Wolf Carbon Solutions US LLC (Wolf Carbon
Solutions) and ADM (NYSE: ADM), a global leader in nutrition and agricultural origination and
processing, today announced that they have signed a Letter of Intent paving the pathway toward
further decarbonization of ADM’s footprint via construction of a pipeline – developed, owned
and operated by Wolf Carbon Solutions – which, together with a commercial agreement , will
allow for the capture, compression and transportation of carbon dioxide produced at ADM’s
Clinton and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, facilities.
Designed as the backbone infrastructure needed to support the region’s lower carbon transition,
the 350-mile steel trunk line will be capable of transporting 12 million tons of CO2 per year. The
pipeline will offer dedicated capacity to transport CO2 from ADM’s ethanol and cogeneration
facilities in Clinton and Cedar Rapids to be stored permanently underground at ADM’s fully
permitted and already-operational sequestration site in Decatur, Illinois. The pipeline would have
significant spare capacity to serve other third-party customers looking to decarbonize across the
Midwest and Ohio River Valley.
“This partnership is an excellent example of industries working together to decarbonize and
deliver upon their ESG strategies a nd commitments,” said David Schmunk, President, Wolf
Carbon Solutions. “Our organizations offer a great combination of complementary skills and
experience — ADM with more than 10 years of experience owning and operating CO 2
sequestration wells, and the Wolf Carbon Solutions team with expertise in owning and operating
carbon capture facilities and pipeline transportation systems, including North America’s largest
third-party CO2 pipeline in Alberta, Canada. We are delighted to share our expertise to further
the effort to develop low carbon fuels in the U.S.”
ADM’s carbon capture and sequestration capabilities in Decatur have allowed it to safely and
permanently store more than 3.5 million metric tons of CO2 a mile and a half under the surface
of the earth, and have paved the way for increased decarbonization of the company’s operations,
including its announcements in 2021 of a partnership to construct a zero-emissions power plant
adjacent to the company’s Decatur corn complex, and its achievement of the wheat milling
industry’s first carbon-neutral footprint.
“ADM is continuing to lead the way to decarbonize the industries in which we operate,” said Chris
Cuddy, President, Carbohydrate Solutions for ADM. “Customers are increasingly turning to us to
help them meet their S cope 3 emissions commitments with low carbon-intensity sustainable
solutions. This is an exciting opportunity for ADM to connect some of our largest processing
facilities with our carbon capture capabilities, advancing our work to significantly reduce our CO2
emissions while delivering sustainable solutions for our customers. These efforts are core to our
purpose, our culture and our growth, and we look forward to working with Wolf Carbon Solutions
to finalize this agreement and further decarbonize our operations and our industry.”
