Summit Carbon Solutions has proposed a carbon capture pipeline that would span five states and 2,000 miles. This pipeline would transport liquified carbon dioxide collected from the smokestacks of ethanol refineries. The carbon would be pumped underground and stored in North Dakota. This pipeline spans most miles in Iowa, with staunch opposition to its development. Many farmers in Iowa are suspicious of Summit’s claims and are concerned that pipeline leaks could result in asphyxiating plumes and harm soil quality. The pipeline companies claim that carbon capture and sequestration will help fight climate change and benefit the farmers.
