Promoter of Ethanol and Biofuels� In addition to its ethanol production, ADM
is involved in a joint project to develop jatropha as a biofuel.
�A succulent suited to tropical areas, it is a candidate for future biodiesel production
�No species has been domesticated.
�So, its productivity is variable, and the long-term environmental impact of its large-scale use is unknown.

Big Time Air Polluter
� In the “Toxic 100” List, ADM is listed as the 3rd largest air polluter in the U.S. by the Political Economy Research Institute.� See http://world-wire.com/news/0804100001.html
�The List is calculated using EPA’s most recent Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI), in addition to its Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) data.

Several Federal Lawsuits�2001 - AMD agreed to pay a $1.46 million
for violating clean-air regulations at its Decatur feed plant and to spend $1.6 million to reduce air pollution there.
�2003- ADM settled federal air pollution complaints related to the company's efforts to avoid New Source Review.
� $4.5 million in penalties and over $6 million to support environmental projects.
�Must eliminate more than 60,000 tons of emissions
![Page 8: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Criticism of ADM
�Too many federal agricultural subsidies.
� Cato estimates that at least 43% of ADM’s annual profits are from subsidies.
�ADM lobbied to create and perpetuate federal ethanol subsidies.
�Destruction of Rainforests to make biofuel?

Geologic Sequestration will be tested at
ADM’s Decatur Corn Processing Plant
![Page 10: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is Geologic Sequestration?
�Geologic Sequestration involves separating and capturing CO2 from a stationary source and then injecting it deep into an underground repository in such a way that it will remain stored.
�Forever.
� (or at least hundreds of years)

ADM Pilot Project� MGSC is a partner of ADM
� One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet deep into the Mt. Simon sandstone formation in the IL Basin
� During 3 year period
![Page 18: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
DOE Picks Up the Tab
� $84.3 million project:
� $66.7 million funded by US Department of Energy over 7 year period
� $17.6 million supplemented by ADM and other “corporate and state resources”
![Page 19: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
NEPA Is Triggered� “A major federal action” must comply with
NEPA
�ADM’s project is a “major federal action”because of:
(1) Federal Funding from DOE
(2) the potential for significant impact on the environment (we’ll discuss this)
To comply, DOE must prepare an Environmental Impact Statement
![Page 20: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
No Programmatic EIS�04/21/ 2004- Notice of Intent to do PEIS
�To “evaluate the potential environmental impacts of sequestration in comparison with other reasonable alternatives”
� Issues the PEIS would address included: health, atmospheric emissions, cultural resources, vegetation, wildlife, fuels, construction, release
�02/26/07 - Notice of Cancellation of PEIS
![Page 21: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why Sequester?
�The growing realization of CO2’s role in Climate change
�Concern that energy demand is increasing
�Anticipation of the future expenses of Carbon Cap and Trade or CO2 tax
�ADM doesn’t want to lose DOE grant money
�ADM needs to reduce emissions or face future penalties.

ADM’s Sequestration Process
� Injection well drilled below lowermost USDW.
�CO2 will be captured, compressed into “supercritical state,” and injected into the well.
�A 300-500 foot thick shale formation above the sandstone will confine the CO2.
�After injection has ceased (could be 30 years+) the well is plugged and abandoned.
� Some CO2 may chemically react with minerals in the sandstone, increasing the weight of the carbon compounds.

But What If the Gas Escapes?
![Page 27: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Health & Environment Risks
�CO2 is an asphyxiate that is capable of suffocating plants, animals, and humans when found in high concentrations.
�A large scale CO2 release may also violate air quality standards.*
�To minimize the danger of a release, the most protective monitoring and leakage detection methods must be in place.
![Page 28: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Safe Drinking Water Act Governs
�The SDWA requires EPA to set standards to protect public drinking water sources.
�The Underground Injection Control (UIC)program regulates injection wells to protect drinking water sources.
�Currently, UIC Wells are grouped into 5 regulatory classes.
�Class I wells inject fluids into formations below the lowermost USDW.
![Page 29: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Regulatory Crossroads
� Regulations for Class I Wells do not
contemplate modern geologic sequestration.
� IL EPA is regulating ADM as a Class I.
� Meanwhile, US EPA is developing new
Class VI well standard specifically for GS.
� The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking can be
found at 73 Federal Register 43492. 07/2008
![Page 30: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Proposed Class VI Wells�The proposed rule would contain criteria
for
�Site Characterization,
�Construction and Operation requirements,
�CO2 and Groundwater Monitoring
�Post-Injection Monitoring and Site Care,
�As well as Financial Responsibility and Insurance Requirements.
ADM’s permit will be governed as a Class VI Well when regulations are finalized.
![Page 31: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Will a Release Be Regulated?
�Proposed Class VI regs do not address the status of CO2 as a pollutant.
�The types and level of impurity in the CO2 stream will vary by facility.
�Thus, EPA cannot make a categorical determination as to whether injected CO2 is hazardous under RCRA
�Though Impurity and location of well can result in hazardous injectate.

No Impact Statement�DOE did not prepare an EIS
� IL EPA should defer permitting activities until DOE demonstrates its action to fund this project complies with its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act.
![Page 36: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Not Within the Scope?
�Failure to comprehensively address the three step carbon sequestration process.
� 1) Capture 2) Transport 3) Storage
�UIC permit only looks
at Storage!

Three Sequestration Steps
![Page 38: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Site Characterization
�ADM identified a potential
fault on the property –
will the sequestration
be compromised?
�Seismic surveys not required
by IL EPA until after the well
is drilled
![Page 39: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Materials�Corrosion resistant materials must be used
for pipe , casings, and cement used in injection well.
�Proposed Class VI Wells would require this.
� IL EPA’s draft permit doesn’t require any specific materials to be used in the well’s construction
�Materials to be disclosed after well is drilled.
![Page 40: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The Plug Should Resist Corrosion!

Automatic shut down feature?
� IL EPA: No automatic shut down feature required by Draft Permit until after well is drilled
�US EPA: “critical component” required to maintain maximum protection to USDWs and earliest warning of malfunction
![Page 42: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Monitoring at ADM?
�Monitoring, Mitigation, and Verification (MMV) refers to a list of procedures to reduce risk and imipact of leakage.
�There is much debate about what level of monitoring is actually necessary.
�Please join me on a mini lesson about MMV from NETL.

MMV For Geologic Formations
1. CO2fate and transport models –simulating underground conditions that influence behavior of CO2
2. Plume tracking –map injected CO2and track its movement
3. Leak detection –critical measurements of whether CO2is escaping from storage reservoir
4. Mitigation-steps to be taken to arrest the flow of CO2and mitigate the impacts

Leakage Detection
� In order to protect human health and safety, as well as assess the longevity of storage, the permit should require surface air and soil flux leakage detection monitoring
� Such monitoring can be used “to ensure that there has been no vertical CO2 leakage, which could endanger USDWs.” 73 Fed. Reg. 43492, 45314 (proposed July 25, 2008).

Air Flux Monitoring�The most direct evidence that a
sequestration site is successful is the lack of extra CO2 in the air near the ground
�The presence of CO2 can be measured through Air Flux monitoring
�The technology to do this exists, but is extremely costly for measuring large areas.
�NETL is currently working to develop cost-effective technology.

Corrosion Monitoring?
�Corrosion monitoring “can help avoid or provide early warning of corrosion of well materials that could compromise the well’s integrity.” 73 Fed. Reg. 43492, 43510-43511
�This is accomplished by “corrosion coupons”
� IL EPA’s draft permit is silent as to whether corrosion coupon installation will be required.

Post Injection site
Care and Monitoring?
![Page 56: Carbon Sequestration in Decatur, IL...ADM Pilot Project MGSC is a partner of ADM One million metric tons of CO2 from ADM’s ethanol fermentation plant will be injected 6,500 feet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f4497c82180637bd0335960/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
None.�U.S. EPA proposes a 50 year post-injection
site care period.73 Fed. Reg. 43492, 43520
� IL EPA requires zero.
� IL EPA’s draft permit is silent as to post-injection site care, even though experts have recognized that injected CO2 may not stabilize for 100 years. See 73 Fed. Reg. 43492, 43518

Financial Responsibility
� States should not be required to assume financial responsibility for sequestered gas.
�The permit should impose a RCRA-like duty upon ADM to accept and demonstrate financial responsibility for long-term site care requirements
� Pay-in -Period Trusts should be used.

Clarification Please . . . 1. If the amount of C02 increases, what
modifications will be made to the permit?
2. If the timeframe is extended, re-permit or permit modification?
3. Will other sources of CO2 (from other industrial operations, for example) be injected into well?
4. What role will public participation and comment play with respect to changes in the scope of IL EPA’s permitting ?

Forgive, but don’t forget � According to U.S. EPA’s Enforcement & Compliance
History Online database (“ECHO”), ADM has been the subject of enforcement actions by the U.S. EPA and IL EPA
� In addition, ECHO identifies three additional “formal enforcement actions”, including two actions in which the IL EPA was the lead agency
