North Dakota regulators on Friday approved Summit Carbon Solutions’ application for a permit to run a section of its carbon dioxide pipeline through the state and store the captured greenhouse gas underground. The approval is a critical step for Summit’s hopes to build the biggest carbon pipeline in the world and carry captured carbon dioxide from 57 Midwest ethanol plants to a North Dakota underground storage site.
“This makes North Dakota the second state, after Iowa, to approve a permit for the multi-state pipeline. The project is crucial for America’s energy security, restoring profitability to farmers, creating jobs in rural communities, and producing next-generation biofuels,” American Carbon Alliance CEO Tom Buis said.
