Backgound

In October 2024, ADM and Broadwing Energy LLC (a subsidiary of Warwick Carbon Solutions) signed a formal agreement paving the way for the construction of the Broadwing Clean Energy Complex, a first-of-its-kind power and steam facility that will capture over 90% of CO2 emissions with a combination of CO2 removal technology and ADM’s permanent carbon storage wells. The plan calls for Warwick to build and operate a gas power plant that will provide both electricity and steam to ADM’s Decatur processing operations. The project is expected to begin operations in 2028-2029[11][12]

As of May 2025, there have not been any further updates about the project.
