BOC plans CO2 capture

July 10, 2006 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 84, Issue 28

BOC is planning what it calls the only carbon dioxide plant in the northeastern U.S. The 600-ton-per-day facility will be built in Volney, N.Y., adjacent to an ethanol plant being constructed by Permolex International. BOC will capture CO2 generated during ethanol production, purify it, and sell it to food, beverage, and chemical companies in the region. The ethanol plant, set to open in late 2007, will initially use corn as a feedstock but may eventually use willow tree chips.
