On Friday, July 7, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced its intent
to issue two carbon storage injection well permits for a world-scale ammonia fertilizer
production facility in Indiana.
By the time it’s expected to come online in 2026, a West Terre Haute-based fertilizer plant will have the capacity to capture and store as much as 1.65 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, making it one of the largest carbon-sequestration projects in the country.
Senate Bill 451, now known as Public Law 53, will allow a local hydrogen plant to move forward with its expansion.
The government, after years of delays, is finally clarifying rules on tax breaks for companies that use carbon capture to fight climate change.
