Google is turning to gas with carbon capture to power its growing Midwest data center fleet. (Reuters)
The tech giant signed a deal to buy electricity from a 400-MW natural gas plant in Decatur, Illinois, developed by Low Carbon Infrastructure and equipped with CCS that will trap about 90% of its CO₂ emissions.
The facility will sit on an Archer Daniels Midland industrial site already used for underground CO₂ injection and is expected to start producing power in the early 2030s.
