HENNEPIN – The largest dry-mill ethanol facility in the United States will now be the world’s first carbon neutral industrial park as well. Marquis Energy in Hennepin announced a plan to begin on-site carbon injection, a process that involves drilling into the sandstone underneath the facility. The 2500-acre facility will be processing blue hydrogen, blue ammonia, and will also be adding a soybean crushing facility to produce feedstocks and renewable fuels.
Marquis Incorporated’s CEO, Mark Marquis commented, “I am excited about low-carbon solutions to the climate crisis however our government has failed to recognize ethanol’s value as part of the climate crisis solution. As a result, my family may reduce our exposure to the fuel grade ethanol business.”
