Labor unions, government officials, business voices, and the academic community are speaking up about the critical role that carbon capture and storage (CCS) can play in helping Illinois reach its clean energy goals. The Capture Jobs Now Coalition is supporting SB3311/HB569 to advance CCS projects, prioritizing jobs and economic development in local communities.

Matt Rush, Farmer from Fairfield and Past President of the Illinois Corn Growers Association:

“This important technology will help the corn ethanol industry pursue domestic and international low carbon fuel markets, bolster investment in existing production facilities and better position the industry to develop market opportunities like sustainable aviation fuel.” (March 2024)

Joe Heinrich, Executive Director of the Smart Carbon Network and Rick Terven, Jr., Legislative & Political Director for the Illinois Pipe Trades Association:

“Illinois is the country’s second-largest corn-producing state and third-largest producer of ethanol. Illinois is a key supplier of the products needed to keep our country fed and fueled. It also means Illinois’ economy relies on demand for these products to remain afloat. Thanks to carbon capture technology, we can increase demand for Illinois corn and ethanol while spurring job creation, investment, and value-added agriculture.” (September 2023)
