Pioneering a path to a net-neutral economy
Heartland Greenway is the sum of its parts. We are engineers, environmentalists, innovators, and a community of people who are working together towards a common goal. We are believers in Illinois’ progress and the Midwest’s place at the forefront of agriculture.
Just as we generate power or transport clean drinking water, carbon capture is a vital part of our infrastructure ecosystem. It’s what prevents excess carbon from being released into the air, what protects corn prices, and what keeps the Midwest economy viable. Carbon capture has been advanced or funded by the following organizations:
Navigator is investing $795 Million to develop carbon management infrastructure to advance Illinois’ net-neutral economic goals.
At peak construction, Heartland Greenway will be responsible for 3,565 direct and indirect employment opportunities throughout Illinois.
Annually, 350,000 metric tons of carbon emissions that would normally be released into Illinois’ atmosphere will instead be captured and safely sequestered.
Heartland Greenway will connect to industrial facilities in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota with over 1,300 miles of new liquid CO2 pipeline, buried 5 feet underground.
We recognize that achieving carbon neutrality is essential for a sustainable future, and we are leading the way by incorporating carbon capture as part of the agricultural process.
Agriculture has long been the heart and soul of Illinois. Our goal is to keep it that way. Heartland Greenway can boost the Illinois economy by incorporating carbon capture and sequestration as part of corn and ethanol processing. The result is renewable fuels, a value-added price on corn, and an opportunity for Illinois to reap the economic advantages.
At Heartland Greenway, we don’t just capture carbon, we put it to good use. We are among the first large CCUS projects in the US to prioritize reusing captured carbon, supporting industries that need it, and paving the way for a more sustainable future.
With the worldwide goal of achieving net neutrality by 2050, everyone from Midwest farmers and the biofuel industry to over 200 countries have set their own carbon reduction goals. Yet, multiple experts agree — we can’t do it without Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS).
Get up to speed on all things CCUS including deep insights, expert opinions, and more.
Heartland Greenway is one of the first large-scale, commercially viable carbon capture projects to be developed in the United States.
Developed by Navigator CO2 , our system will provide biofuel producers and other rural industrial processors in Illinois and four other Midwest states with a long-term and cost-effective means to reduce their carbon footprint.
At Navigator CO₂ we conduct business in a way that reflects our core values through being collaborative, innovative and conscientious.
Collaboration and partnership are key to achieving success and making a real impact. We build trust and create long-term relationships by being straightforward and open about our processes.
We leverage cutting-edge technologies and innovative techniques to solve complex agricultural and environmental challenges, to drive progress and growth in the Midwest.
By prioritizing a commitment to conscientious actions, we put the safety and well-being of our team, partners, and communities first.
Partnering with companies, associations, and organizations across the heartland to make Illinois and the Midwest proud.
Get answers to the most commonly asked questions about carbon capture, from process and benefits to impact and implementation.
Agriculture has always been the heart and soul of the Midwest. As we continue to discover innovative ways to support our agricultural community and families across the Midwest, we can see carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a clear path to the future. CCUS will help support our biofuels industries by allowing them to reduce their negative environmental effects which will open more markets for their product both here in the United States.
