A proposed carbon capture and sequestration project by Big River Resources and Lapis Carbon Solutions is meeting resistance from Galva residents. The project aims to capture CO2 from an ethanol plant and inject it into the Mount Simon Sandstone formation. Local concerns center on groundwater safety, the readiness of emergency services for CO2 incidents, and a lack of transparency regarding the use of city owned land for storage. Residents are calling for clearer information on the long term environmental impacts of the sequestration site.
