Don’t mess with the aquifer!
The U.S. EPA is gearing up to issue draft permits for companies to inject and/or store CO2 under the Mahomet Aquifer. Help adopt a CCS ban!
Why we need a ban
CO2 storage proposed in Illinois threatens the Mahomet Aquifer, a U.S. EPA designated sole-source aquifer that serves nearly 1 million people.
What is CCS?
CCS captures CO2 from a power plant, compresses it into a liquid, transports it via pipeline, and then injects it deep underground for storage.
Protect Illinois residents from CCS
STOP US EPA Class VI well permits! Illinois is a target CO2 storage. But if it leaks, it can contaminate our water. Make sure that doesn’t happen.
May Lobby Day a Success
There was widespread support for HB3119 from legislators visited onlobby day. The bill is still being negotiated. Watch this site for more.
Support CO2 Pipeline & Storage Legislation
Montgomery County residents and landowners in the pathway of the carbon dioxide pipeline and sequestration sites should supportSB2421/HB3119.
Can CO2 Leak into Our Aquifer?
It’s time to hear the truth: The Heartland Greenway project can’t “ensure” (as they repeatedly claim) that the CO2 will stay under a rock cap 6000 feet underground.
Is CCS an effective climate solution?
Carbon capture and sequestration is presented as an essential climate solution. But is it? How does it compared to other options?
We Need to Know More about CO2 Pipelines
Navigator CO2 Ventures plans to pipe captured and liquified CO2 to a new Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) location in Christian County.
