U.S. Department of Energy and Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) has made substantial progress in the development and construction of the largest saline storage project in the U.S., located and being commissioned at the ADM’s biofuels complex in Decatur, Illinois.  Public education and outreach for carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an integral part of this project, and to this end, the project has established the National Sequestration Education Center (NSEC) at Richland Community College in Decatur to implement a new associate degree program, first in the U.S., with an emphasis on CCS.  This presentation will give an overview of the technical scope and status of the project and highlight the NSEC's public education and outreach strategies and accomplishments.
