The Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) Company (“Operator”) proposes an addition to the existing underground injection project at its agricultural products and biofuels production facility located in Decatur, Illinois. The goal of this additional neighboring injection site is to add three (3) underground injection wells to accept and retain industrial-scale volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2) for permanent geologic sequestration. Two pre-existing Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) wells with associated equipment have previously been constructed and operated at the main Decatur facility, and permit applications have been submitted for a third and fourth well.

This permit application is being submitted for three additional wells to be located on leased property north of the ADM production facility that are named Well #5, Well #6, and Well #7 (CCS#5, CCS#6, and CCS#7) in this application document and related submissions. Carbon Capture and Sequestration at Well #5, Well #6, and Well #7 (CCS#5, CCS#6, and CCS#7) is to begin injection upon permit approval at an approximate rate of 3,050 metric tons per day (MT/day). At least 1.1 million MT per well will be injected annually to these three wells.

The proposed sequestration site at the ADM facility will be supplied with CO2 from ADM or 3rd party carbon capture systems, including but not limited to: - Pre-combustion systems - Oxy-combustion systems - Post combustion systems - CO2 from ADM’s various ethanol and cogeneration facilities including but not limited to Decatur, IL; Clinton, IA; and Cedar Rapids, IA
