What is the purpose of this project?

DTE Vantage and The Andersons Marathon Holdings are proposing this project to further reduce the carbon intensity of bioethanol produced at the Clymers Ethanol facility. The proposed project will capture CO₂ emissions from the bioethanol fermentation process, a key step in the bioethanol production process. The project will then take the CO₂ captured and sequester it deep underground, either directly at the Clymers facility or in very close proximity.  CCS at the plant will help ensure that ethanol remains a cost-effective and competitive transportation fuel in the marketplace. It will help protect the economic viability of the bioethanol facility, preserve local jobs, support local farmers, and reduce carbon emissions.
