ADM plans to enter the voluntary carbon dioxide removal market using credits generated at its corn processing complex in Columbus, Nebraska, drawing on its carbon capture and sequestration experience, according to World Grain.

The company is partnering with Tallgrass, which inaugurated carbon capture and storage operations in Columbus in 2025. The complex has annual carbon capture capacity of more than 800,000 tons, and the initial credits are undergoing certification and issuance by Puro.earth under its Geologically Stored Carbon methodology.

Puro.earth will provide standards, certification and registry infrastructure to track issuance and retirement of carbon removal credits, while certification and issuance are expected by year end. After successful completion of the certification and verification process, ADM said it will begin a 15-year crediting period.

At the Columbus site, biogenic CO2 captured from ethanol fermentation is purified, compressed and transported to Tallgrass’s Eastern Wyoming Sequestration Hub for permanent underground storage through CCS wells regulated under a Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Class VI permit. ADM said it is already working with customers across its value chains to support carbon removal goals.
